Can you be more explicit? I understand that you want to set environment variables from a DataStage job. If that's correct, simply execute an appropriate command or pipeline of commands. For example

Code: Select all

set MYVAR=#valuetoset#

You could execute this command (for example, still) via ExecDOS as an after-job or after-stage subroutine.

However, would it still be set once the job's session ends? I guess it would be simple enough to test it.

Of course not. When the job finishes its shell closes.

Didn't think so, but sure seems to me that's what the OP wants and you said "Sure, do it like this" so was a little confused. Never mind the fact it was fairly early on a hectic morning, what with two new puppies chewing on my cords and cables.
