[Das]

Hi,
I am have some proble while passing parameter from one job to another
using the following manner

UtilityRunJob('testJob', 'Par1=' : DSLink4.o_p_uid :'|' : 'DataSource=' : DSGetParamInfo(DSJ.ME,DataSource,DSJ.PARAMTYPE.STRING))

I am calling testJob from job ABCD par1 is taking from a file and the DataSource is a prameter from the job ABCD which i have to pass to test job
While runnig i am getting the error as follows in director
ABCD..Transformer_3 (UtilityRunJob): Setting Job Param - DataSource Setting to -3 and then the job got aborted

Please help me out in this .

Use DSJ.PARAMVALUE instead of DSJ.PARAMTYPE.STRING

Use instead of DSJ.PARAMTYPE.STRING ...

I have used DSJ.PARAMVALUE but still giving the same error.
Please suggest any alternative

Have you tried to put an actual value instead of the parameter ?
e.g.

UtilityRunJob('testJob', 'Par1=' : DSLink4.o_p_uid :'|' : 'DataSource=' : '<hard coded value')

Try this and see if you still get the same error. If you are, then it is possibly a problem with your routine

You don't need to pull the value like that. Not for this situation.

Just use it:

Code: Select all

UtilityRunJob('testJob', 'Par1=' : DSLink4.o_p_uid :'|' : 'DataSource=' : #DataSource#))

Code -3 (DSJE.BADPARAM) means "bad parameter name" - that is, the parameter NAME that you are giving is not the name of a parameter in that job. Check both spelling and casing.
