This is definitely not the best way to get this field. I would open "DS_JOBS" and read this record directly because you have the key. There are many examples of this in EtlStats and other posts. Search for GetJobCategory. I think Ray posted a GetJobNumber routine. If you cannot figure it out then as...

If I understand your question correctly then you have one stage with 2 links to another stage without a transform in between. I think if you look in the Director and monitor these jobs then it will become more clear. Sometimes DataStage creates ident links in order to separate the data flows. Links ...
