DSXchange

Folks

Yet again im clueless on this one ; is there a way in which i can execute multiple TCL commnds and an unix command , all using the before-job subroutine feature? Or do i need to create multiple dummy jobs? I know that you can execute multiple unix commnds by delimiting commands with a semicolon';', but how about 2 TCL commands and one unix command , all to be executed before a job runs? Any 'elegant ways of doing so' suggestions?

Thanks
Ramesh

It's been awhile but I know it has been discussed here. You'd need to create something called a 'paragraph' from what I recall, something that links together multiple TCL commands. You would then 'run' the paragraph.

A search with the proper keywords should turn something up.

Or you can write a before/after subroutine that calls your tcl commads

I concur with Cr.Cezon. Write a small after job sub-routine that has a bunch of DSExecute() commands making all different calls. This way you can have in depth error handling incorporated as well.

Oh, come on... you wanted to do it the simple way? Why didn't you say so!

Thanks Folks

You guys made it sound so simple uh!

It is simple. Ask Craig

You can create the paragraph (a series of TCL commands) in the Administrator client's command window. One of these can execute the UNIX command: Once all the TCL commands are contiguous in the command window, multi-select them and save under a name not used for anything else.

That is the name of the paragraph, which can be invoked through the ExecTCL before/after subroutine.
