Hi,

I have generated a flat file using DataStage7.x on unix. Is there a way to encrypt this flat file either using DataStage or Unix. Actually I have to FTP an encrypted file.

I will really appreciate any help on this.

Thanks
Raj

On UNIX look at "man crypt". You have to get the password to use from somewhere though.

Is there a way to encrypt the file in .pgp and the format needs to be in ASCII.

With an after-stage or after-job subroutine, or in Job Control code, you can do anything for which you have a command line interface.

You'll need an old version of pgp not the new one as it doesn't have the command line. Create a bat file that pgp's the file and as Ray said call that it in an after stage job.

Another approach may be through the use of the Filter Command box on the ff stage. I have this to unzip(input) or zip(output) and I don't see why you couldn't use a command line encryption program. Mind you, I have not done seems possible :?:
