$PROJDEF Not Available in DS7.0??

Hi, It seems that setting of environment variable $PROJDEF is not available in DS ver 7.0. I am using that version (Server ed) on a Windows platform. Is there any work around to achieve the same? If yes, can anyone please explain in detail how it could be done?

You can use the less convenient $ENV in the older DataStage versions instead of $PROJDEF where the variables come from the operating system. You can also load your variables in from ini or text files using DataStage routines.

Hi vmc,
Can you give me any pointers as to how the above can be done? Would be nice if there were links to some such routines posted in the past.

Thanks.
