Thanks!
This is almost exactly what I need to do:
Value is set in one sub_sequence and needs to be accessed in the top sequence job (that calls it) to do some "if then" condition testing and decide whether or not to proceed running 2nd sub-sequence job.
This is were I will use routine that I wrote that extracts the user status based on jobname(argument). I will call this routine in top sequence job.
Correct?
1) I don't believe this is something testable from the Manager as there is no user status area to update. You'll need to use it in either a small test job or just go for the real deal and see what happens.
2) You didn't actually include the 'RETURN(Ans)' part in your routine, did you? That's automatically part of the routine.

Juls asked about accessing it from two sub-sequence jobs called from a third top level sequence job. The User Variables stage won't help here. If the user status value is set in the top level sequence, you just need to pass it to both sub-sequence jobs in order to use it in any of their jobs.

Hi Folks,
there are many posts about UserStatus in parallel talking about C routines, and so on, but I've not found the final solution yet. So to summarize:
I know how passing one parameter from one job to another one into a Sequence job using Server jobs (setUserStatus SERVER routine).
What about Prallel? DSSetUserStatus is not usable in PX
