Routine Error

[karry450]

Hi Friends,

My routine A is trying get the paramaterfile and read the contents

ERROR
Full parameter filename = /
(fatal error from A): Error opening parameters file, '/', status = 2


ROUTINE

#include DSINCLUDE JOBCONTROL.H


Ans = 0

Equate RoutineName To "A"

FullParamFileName = Trim(paramfile)
Call DSLogInfo("Full parameter filename = " : FullParamFileName,RoutineName)

ParamErr = 0

*
* Try to open the file...
*
OpenSeq FullParamFileName To ProjectParamFileVar
Else
Msg = 'Error opening parameters file, ' : SQuote(FullParamFileName) : ', status = ' : Status()
Call DSLogFatal(Msg, RoutineName)
Abort
End


-------------------------------------------

And I gave paramfile value expression as './file' while is there in current directory.

can anyone help me if this routine is right.

Thanks

What do you think the "current directory" is when the routine is called? Best to stick with full pathnames to avoid issues like this.

And you've verified that path that you log is correct and that it not only exists but you have the proper permissions on it as well? Does this work when you 'Test' it and only fail in the job or does it not work at all yet?

When Iam actually testing the routine If I dont supplying any quotes for the values and it is working fine.

But when I call the routine in a job activity it is not accepting if I dont supply quotes to the values. And then If I supply quotes and run I getting the error that I have posted earlier.

Can anyone help me please.

Thanks

Two problems here. One is you don't call a routine from a Job Activity stage - do you mean a Routine Activity stage? And what does "not accepting" mean, what exactly are you putting in as the parameter value and what happens?

Sorry it is routine activity stage, When i mnt not accepting , it is showing in RED colour and Im unable to compile the job.

Im putting as file and this shows red in colour and the job does nt get compiled, and when I put as './file' it is accepting and gives the error I have mentioned earlier

Again, what exactly are you putting in the stage that it won't accept?

Im putting paramfile value expression as file it shows in red and the job doesnt compile

(fatal error from A): Error opening parameters file, '/', status = 2

You can't use OpenSeq to open / because / is a directory not a file.

[chulett]

Of course, but they're not trying to open "/".

Argh! Don't just repeat what you've already said, that doesn't help at all. I want to know the value you are putting there.
