Hashed file name question

Post by PilotBaha »

How can I prevent the hash file name to be drived from the link name?
I have 3 different inputs to the hashfile and they all get split as DSLink1.<Hfname>, DSLink2.<Hfname>, etc.

I have

Code: Select all


Link#1
-------|
       |
----------->   Final H File
Link#2 |    
       |
-------|
Link#3
This is sort of similar to the previous day's post about merging files and writing to a single hash file..

Thanks in advance...

You can't, the link name is the default hash name. However, it's a simple matter to rename each one to a single, consistant name so they all end up writing to the same hash file. :?

You can enhance the unmaintainability of your job design by naming the links as follows:
  • HFloadlink
    HFIoadlink
    HFloadIink
They will all appear the same on the palette.
