Hi all,
i have a job which has source as multiple files. Do we have a feature of file list which just loads the files into the sequential file stage and the job runs as many as the files we have.
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks,
Ravi

No. You can, however, use a Batch job to execute a system level command to get the list of files to process, and then, in a loop using the DS job control API's, start the job(s) necessary to process each file, passing the filename as either a parameter or moving the file into position for processing under a standard name.

If the fiel names are going to stay constant or then number of files is oging to stay constant why not just have a before job that runs in unix to cat the files together prior to the job starting
