This may or may not work - I can't recall whether UV/Net functionality was incorporated into DataStage.

Try using a pathname in field 2 of the hashed file's VOC entry of the form hostname!pathname.

Did your routine compile successfully?

Note that it will not return any results in the Test bed of the Routine editor (since it's not being called from a job there).

Probably best is the Education Assistant

You can also check out the IBM Knowledge Center and, of course, the pertinent manuals.

You can easily do what Kim suggested by making a copy of the job, selecting the container and choosing the option to deconstruct it.

Therefore you can use the DataStage API functions to do any discovery using that as the job handle (first argument). For example TrueJobName = DSGetJobInfo(DSJ.ME, DSJ.JOBNAME) Place the ...
