Convert all your output columns to VarChar, and derive them with begin and end element tags. That will get you very close.
Optionally use before-job and after-job subroutines to create headers and trailers.

Verify in Diretor that the job ran in this queue. Verify in Ops Console dashboard view, by drilling through to the job, that it ran n the high priority queue. What do you expect to see on the Workload Management tab? This is really for managing queues. If the job has already started, it is no longer...

You don't add your job to a queue in WLM, you add it when you make a job run request.

Specify the queue name in the dsjob command line, or in the Job Run Options dialog when you submit a run request from Director or Designer client.

There are activity variables that capture the command output ($CommandOutput) and the exit status ($ReturnValue) from the command (script). These are available anywhere downstream of the Execute Command activity. So, in your Job activity, you might set the value of a job parameter to be Convert(@FM,...

The result of the Execute Command activity is available as an activity variable that you can use to populate the job parameter in the Job activity.

Note that you may need to trim a trailing field mark character.

Code: Select all

Trim(MyCommand.$CommandOutput, @FM)

To reprise my earlier answer:

(Auto) is guaranteed always to work (to deliver correct results, all else being equal).

(Auto) is not guaranteed to be optimally efficient in all cases. This is where someone with some knowledge can get a job to perform better (finish faster).
