DSXchange

I want to get Number of Rows written or updated to the o/p to a variable.

How can i get this.

You can use
the function DSGetStageInfo(JobHandle, StageNmae, DSJ.STAGEINROWNUM ) outside the transformer

or the macro DSStageInRowNum inside the trx

At unix level you can use this:

. $DSHOME/dsenv
$DSHOME/bin/dsjob -lstages PROJECT_NAME JOB_NAME

you will get the stage names use in the job,you have mentioned in the above command,if you are already aware of output stage name then use :

rowcount=`dsjob -stageinfo PROJECT_NAME JOB_NAME STAGE_NAME(outputname) | grep "In Row Number" |cut -d':' -f2|awk '{printf $1}'`

A variable in a shell script or a variable in a DataStage BASIC routine, or a variable in some other setting?

A variable in a shell script

Then the solution of AmeyJoshi14 seems a good one.

Which one you'd use is totally dependant on where you need this information, which the OP has not stated.
