"ParamValue" previously undefined. Empty string u

[mctny]

We are getting the following errors two days in a row in production and the code has not been changed for a long time, and the code was running fine as well. the job is multi instance job and has about 100 instance running everyday fine, in the last two days as well as one time about 6 months ago this job issued warnings for three different instances. the job has only job control codes in it ( no DataStage stages).

Anybody has any idea why it is not producing warnings for all the instances and why the same code runs fine most of the times. we are suspecting it could be a DataStage bug , anybody came across this same issue? I searched the forum but no solution/workaround exists


DataStage Job 247 Phantom 10679
Program "DSSetParam": Line 63, Variable "ParamValue" previously undefined. Empty string used.
Program "DSSetParam": Line 78, Variable "ParamValue" previously undefined. Empty string used.

Program "DSSetParam": Line 163, Variable "ParamValue" previously undefined. Empty string used.

Given that the messages are being generated by the DSSetParam() function itself I think you're right that there's a bug, so you need to involve your support provider to ascertain whether it's a known bug and, if so, whether there's a quick fix available.

Thanks a lot Ray. We opened a case with them and waiting for an answer, in the mean time we are trying to investigate however there is not much to do but wait.

Thanks again
