It's certainly possible, though you probably need a separate lookup for each level.

Refer to parameters in Parameter Sets using "dot notation".

Code: Select all

-param setname.paramname=value
Use values file by specifying the values file name as the "value" of the parameter set.

Code: Select all

-param setname=valuesfilename

What a piece of luck to have struck process ID 12345! The problem may not be with your configuration file, it's with the setting of the TMPDIR environment variable. What is the value of %TMPDIR%? Are the scratch disks identified in the configuration file local, or NFS mounted? Local disks for scratc...

Two solutions. One is to leave the Parameter Set "value" as (as defined) throughout. The other, really useful if you want occasionally to use different values, is to make use of "values files" for the Parameter Set. In this case use the name of the values file instead of "(a...

CLEAR.FILE will cause you problems if jobs are still running, as it will wipe out the control records such as //SEQUENCE.NO and //JOB.STARTED.NO.

Search DSXchange for a routine that will purge records according to a date or number of runs.

Auto-purge will only happen if the job finishes successfully. That is, "Finished" or "Finished (see log)".

That's like asking how to join water pipes using a screwdriver. What ever happened to "the right tool for the right job"? Why using this particular stage type, whose function - I should not have to say - is NOT about finding maximum values.

EVAL always needs double quotes, and particularly if the contained expression uses single quotes.

Code: Select all

SELECT DISTINCT EVAL "FIELD(CATEGORY,'\',2,1)" FROM DS_JOBS; 
works fine for me. (Note that field #1 is always "" because CATEGORY always begins with "|".)
