ds_seq open() error

Post by sengs »

Hi,
I am getting an error when i run a job to populate a sequential file.
The error is
ds_seq open()_error in 'open()' permission denied.
Help me to overcome this.
Thanks,
sengs

"permission denied" is a UNIX error message, the user you are running your DataStage job as does not have sufficient privileges to open the sequential for (probably for writing).

If you do a unix "ls -al {seqfilename}" you will see what the access rights to that file are. Access rights are changed using the chmod command; but most likely the umask settings for the user that created the file are set incorrectly for what you want to do.
