Updating a Hashfile from Routine

Hi guys!
How can I update a Hashfile from a Routine? I'm using the UtilityHashLookUp routine for search the Hash, now I need to write on it.
Thanks in advance.
Bye.
Ayari D. :D

Yes you can, but once you're going down this path, why do you need a GUI ETL tool? Can you state your reasons why you think you need to do this?

Kenneth, thanks for your reply.
We have several validations in our Job Sequence throw routines and we're trying to write/read to a Hash in order to execute or not our Job Servers.
Any idea?
Ayari.

You can search the forum or read the DS BASIC manual for hash file OPEN/READ/WRITE/CLOSE operations. There are tons of examples posted on this forum as well. Give it a shot and then post some followup questions if you have issues.
