Routine error

[sri75]

Hi,




when I ran the job, it aborted with this message

"From previous run
DataStage Job 6141 Phantom 12438
Program "DSD.RUN": Line 2157, Variable previously undefined. Zero length string used.
Program "DSD.RUN": Line 2157, Variable previously undefined. Zero length string used."

there is one variable defined and assigne value.
can you please help me out ?

the job has the following routine


ParamFile = ParameterFileName
Var = 0
OpenSeq ParamFile To FileVar Else
Call DSLogFatal("Cannot open ":ParamFile: "- Aborting Job", "ParameterRoutine")
Ans = @Null
GoTo ErrorExit
End

Loop
ReadSeq FileLine From FileVar
Then
If Var = 1 Or TrimF(TrimB(Field(EReplace(FileLine, '[',""),']',1))) = TrimF(TrimB(JobName))
Then

Var = 1

If Var = 1 And TrimF(TrimB(Field(FileLine,"=",1))) = TrimF(TrimB(ParameterName))
Then

Ans = TrimF(TrimB(Field(FileLine,"=",2)))
GoTo MatchFound
End Else

Ans = @Null
End

End Else

Ans = @Null
End

End Else
Exit
End
Repeat

MatchFound:

CloseSeq FileVar

ErrorExit:

Can you please edit that post, encase your code between Code tags and format it? This will make it easier to read.

"JobName" used in - If Var = 1 Or TrimF(TrimB(Field(EReplace(FileLine, '[',""),']',1))) = TrimF(TrimB(JobName)) is a Variable previously undefined ???

Thanks Ray and Josh for your reply.

Actually We got old version text file from Peoplesoft which feeds this routine.

We addede few entries what we want to this file, now it is working fine


Thanks
