It might be better to use BY.EXP.DSND rather than BY.DSND.

Redirect the output of the uvsh.exe command into a file as required.

And what do you mean by "global"? That is, what scope do you see these variables having - for example within a sequence, within a project or across multiple projects?

On your server look in RT_BPxxx subdirectory, where xxx is the job number for your job. The file JOB.1140653906.DT.1562646482.TRANS3 contains source code created by compiling a Transformer stage. Look at and around line number 181 to determine what was happening there. A non-numeric value has been s...

I liked "Which of the Marx Brothers could not speak?" (it came out of deep left field).
