And 'n' = what, exactly?
Called job sets USERSTATUS. Calling routine uses DSGetJobInfo with an
InfoType of
DSJ.USERSTATUS to retrieve it.

n ≈ "Exact Search of UserStatus"

Perfect Criag!!!
Iam using that routine in JobSequence. And using Routine.$ReturnValue to pass the value fetched from this argument to other jobs. Is there any simple way.
As you know, there is no UserStatus for RoutineActivity in Version 7.

There's no simpler way given that you've chosen to use a routine rather than the Job Activity to run the job.

Because there's no need for that. It is, however, supported for the Job Activity stage.
Ray's point was that if you had used a Job Activity stage to run the job in the Sequence, you could have leveraged that to automatically pass
$UserStatus from it to any downstream activity. Using the routine unnecessarily complicates the process... unless there is some reason you needed to build it that way?
