Hi,

I've job which fetches only one record in Hash/Seq file and I need to use it as a Job parameter in next job.
Its a Date filed and I need to query my source against it , I want to filter the data at source stage only by embedding the hash file value as parameter in the SQL query 'WHERE' clause.

i.e. where updated_on >= #HashFileValue#

Regards,

The job parameter value must be obtained before you run this job.
You can create a routine to read the value from the hashed file, then use the return value from this routine in a job sequence to provide the value for the job parameter in a Job Activity.

Have similar question..
Is there a function through which I can get the part a file name to be my job parameter? The sequential files which are input to the jobs carry date in the filenames (and no where in the content of the file) which needs to be used in the tranforms. Any thoughts?
Thanks,

Post a new thread. We don't hijack threads - it renders the search mechanism inefficient. Yours is an almost completely different requirement.
