Hi there.

I'd like to know how can I paste the information stored in DS Manager (table definitions), to transform it to Excel files.

Does anybody know how to do this ?

And besides, I?d like to know how can I get my own listings of DS.

Thanks in advance.

Hi. I have a severe error when I try to open a project, using Designer, Manager or Director.

[:)] Thanks Craig for your answer. I will try with SEEK. The thing with point (2) is that the program is found because it is prefixed with the whole path. But when executing the command, something is not present at that moment. By example, if I make a routine within DataStage that invokes by means o...

Hi. I have two questions. 1) From a BASIC program, how can I do to append records to a sequential file ? The idea is to not override the existing records, and to write records at after the last record. 2) How can I invoke the "dsjob" program ? I put the dsjob invocation within a .bat file,...
