DS/Basic arrays can be dimensioned more than 32K. The code references "$mam" - what is that value at runtime? Perhaps the array size referenced here is for your transfer buffer to/from the database. Thanks for your comment. I haven't tried running this so don't have any runtime values. I ...

I am attempting to understand one of the sample jobs provided with Datastage and have come accross the folllowing code: *Get the maximum length of LONG column data *If $mam is nonzero, use it to determine array size IF ($mam NE 0) THEN ARG1 = $mam*1048576 OPENSEQ PARAMETERFILE TO PFILE ELSE CALL DSL...

Sorry guys, being a Unix moron, I failed to appreciate the significance of Ken's code initially, ie that I should issue the the bin/dssh command from the DSEngine directory. (Yes I know he explained it further later, but I still missed the crucial bit). So hence I issued the dssh command from the bi...

After some advice from another colleague, I tried running the 'dssh' command from the DSEngine directory, rather than the Bin directory, and voila, I was in. This took me to the DSEngine account, from which I was able to access my project by doing a LOGTO command. (The 'uv' command still does not wo...

Thanks everybody. I have tried to execute the dssh command but it looks like Ray is right and the library file is just not loaded. I got the following error again: dstaged1:/usr/dstage/dsadm/Ascential/DataStage/DSEngine/bin:$ dssh exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program dssh because of the following er...

Thanks to everyone who has contributed. Much appreciated. However, when I attempt to run the 'uv' command I get the following (I include the directory structure I ran it from for reference) : dstaged1:/usr/dstage/dsadm/Ascential/DataStage/DSEngine/bin:$ uv exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program uv bec...

Is it possible to access the Universe environment for a project directly from a unix directory? I would imagine it should be possible because you can do it from the administrator command window, (albeit, somewhat clumsily). There should be a Unix command to invoke the Universe environment, but I don...
