DataStage version 6 on Windows 2000.
Is it possible to populate job/sequence parameters from a stage variable or value from an input row? If so, how would you go about it?
I know it sounds simple, but I can't get anything to work.
Cheers
Silly parameter question

Hi,
well depending on what you want to do you can do one of the following:
1. use a job to return userstatus and use that value as a parameter for the next job activity stage in a sequence job or somethign similar with batch jobs.
2. output the variable info to files and read them in batch job to get the parameter values you need.
Hope This Helps,
Roy R.

If you're in the controlling job, you can obtain the values of the controlling job's parameter values using DSGetParamInfo function. You can then use DSSetParam to set parameter values for a controlled job, before starting that controlled job's run.
There is no sensible way to obtain a value from a stage variable and use that to update a parameter value, because job parameter values can not be changed once the job is running.
