DSXchange

It should work, but you probably need to specify the full Distinguished Name. The documentation about this command should tell you one way or the other.

1. You don't need to count anything. 2. You can not include a unix command in a Convert() function. 3. Use the ls command to sort the file names. Translate the linefeeds into commas. 4. Have your StartLoop command process a "list of things" comma-delimited list of file names. 5. Within the...

What if you try left-clicking on the selector (the square tool with ... on it at the right hand end of the expression field)?

Windows 7 is not supported for DataStage 7.x.

Whether it works is, of course, an entirely different question. If it does, however, you're on your own vis-a-vis support.

I believe John McKeever and I found a workaround for that, but can't recall the details.
