Your code seems to have become a little scrambled, and is missing the "InfoID = " assigment statement ahead of its use. Further you (as does all the example code) ignore the documented advice not to assume the data type of a job handle. Here is some better code: FUNCTION GetJobStatus(JobName)...

There's a function called CurrentDate() if you are working in a Transformer. However, to achieve what you state - setting a job parameter - then it must be deduced that you are working in a job sequence, in job control code, or using the dsjob command line interface. Notwithstanding any of that, onc...

You are wasting your time if you want the status of the job from which the routine is being invoked in a Transformer stage - the status of that you will always be reported as DSJS.RUNNING. I am guessing, therefore, that you are delivering a stream of job names for which you want to determine the sta...

Find out, perhaps by using the LIST.READU command, who has the job open. Ask them nicely to close it. If the lock is owned by a redundant process, use dsdlockd -p command to clean up.

Oh, wow, that one's out of the Ark! DataStage hasn't used DS_JOBnnn since, like, forever! I guess we need a newer version that works with DS_JOBOBJECTS.

The string needs two more characters than the precision - one for the sign and one for the decimal place designator. So you need ustring[max=15].

Not as far as I am aware. Support for IMS datasets and viewsets comes with Enterprise MVS edition (mainframe edition). If you want to connect from Enterprise edition (parallel jobs) I expect you'll need some kind of gateway product, or perhaps Federation Server.

No, a necessary overhead. This is processing that you want to do, whether you use Convert(), Index() or Locate or any other method to accomplish it.
