DSU.CommonInitKeys(workdir:" ":oradb:" ":orauser:" ":orapwd:" ":SeqIdName, returncode)

Kollurianu,

the first sounds like a user-written routine, the second is a DataStage routine which, when I tried using the search function, has been referenced 11 times already.

Hi Arnd,

i didnot find this function CommonInitKeys in the in routines folders

does DSU indicate it is an user defined function if so what does the following mean , can some one explain please,

Call DSU.DSWaitForFile(AvaOutfilePath:" timeout=-1", returncode)

Thank you all,

DSWaitForFile is a function, not a subroutine, so you would not use Call. Instead, you need a DEFFUN declaration. This is in the JOBCONTROL.H header file, so put at the top of your routine

Code: Select all

$IFNDEF JOBCONTROL.H
$INCLUDE DSINCLUDE JOBCONTROL.H
$ENDIF

You should be able to find a routine called CommonInitKeys in the Routines branch of your repository.
