problem encountered in a routine

[dsquestion]

Hi all,
I have written a routine which fetches the data from text file and passes that value as a parameter to the job.I have called the routine in a routine activity and passed that result to the job as parameter like this routine_stagename$returnvalue. the routine code is

OpenSeq Filepath To FileVar
On Error Call DSLogWarn("Cannot open ":FileVar, "max")
Then ReadSeq FileLine From FileVar
On Error Call DSLogWarn("Error from ":FileVar: " status=":Status(),"max")
Then
Ans = Trim(FileLine)
End

but i am getting the following error

INCR_SEQUENCER..JobControl (@Routine_Activity_0): Controller problem: Unhandled failure (0001k27e) encountered calling routine DSU.max

Note:0001k27e is the data fetched form the text file


comments appreciated
Thanks in advance

You might not want to use FileVar, but rather use FilePath (in your DSLogWarn) since FileVar is a handle to the file you just opened.

Put a call DSLogInfo('Entering MAX Routine','') in your routine; I think your error is not being generated from where you think it is.

Did you call the routine as 'max'?

You may need to set a default value for Ans in the beginning in order to return some value back.

Try the following
1.) include a dsloginfo message as the first and last lines of the routine.
2.) run the routine in a stand-alone mode.
3.) Check your sequencer (probably INCR_SEQUENCER) to confirm whether all relevant parameters are passed correctly. Save and recompile.
