Hi ,

Can anybody suggest me a way to call a Perl Program from a DataStageJob -- as an After-Job Routine or a Functional Routine or any other way !!!!

Thanks In Advance,
Madhu

You can use ExecSH or execute. In a routine

Code: Select all

execute 'SH -c "MyPerl.pl"' capturing Output returning RtnValue

The variable Output has what would of went to the screen. RtnValue is the exit code of the Perl script.

You can also use DSExecute - check the online help.
