Return Values from Routine Activity

[justlrng]

Hi,

I am attempting to call a routine using a Routine Activity in a sequence. Based on what the return value is I decide on which path to follow. However, although the routine is being called, it always returns the error

DW03100sLoadBackOut3..JobControl (@routCheckinsCertStaffRptAssoc): Routine DSU.CheckFileExistsNr did not finish OK, return code = 'Y'.

"Y" is the expected value and I've set up under the "Triggers" tab, the Expression type of "ReturnValue - (Conditional)" with the Expression being "= "Y" ".

Is there something obvious I'm missing or I'm I just setting this up incorrectly?

Thanks

Sounds like you are using the new feature to 'automatically handle jobs that fail'. Routines that return a non-zero value are considered to have failed when that option is turned on.

Two things to try:

1) turn off the option
2) Add an 'otherwise' trigger so that it thinks you are handling the error and therefore it doesn't have to.

Thank you.

Turning off the option of "Automatically handle...." does the trick. I never would have thought of that. :D
