It works, thank you.

Definitely MKS Toolkit makes life easier. Still using Windows affecting my ability to find solutions obvious in Unix

You can supply as many as you like from /dev/null (UNIX) or .NUL (Windows NT). For example

analyze.shm -t0 < .NUL | grep NLSMODE

(Youre lucky - not many people have grep on their Windows NT systems! I take it you have MKS Toolkit or something similar.)

Thank you, this is almost what I need! But...

even though Im running DataStage on Windows NT, I can use analyze.shm -t0 | grep NLSMODE

Now the problem is this paging part:
Press any key to continue...

I cant find in help for analyze.shm any option to avoid this. Is there any global option?

Thanks

If youre talking about simply whether NLS is enabled or not, and youre on UNIX (Im guessing this from your address ), and you mean the O/S command line rather than the UniVerse command line, try:

analyze.shm -t0 | grep NLSMODE

You may need UniVerse bin directory in your PATH, or use:

`cat /.uvhome`/bin/analyze.shm -t0 | grep NLSMODE

If NLSMODE is 1, NLS is enabled, if NLSMODE is 0 or absent, NLS is not enabled.

If you want it from the UniVerse command line, use the SH verb:

SH -c "analyze.shm -t0 | grep NLSMODE"

Hi,

Im trying to get NLS mode of DataStage engine (UniVerse) from command line. Anyone knows how to do this? I can create a job that will write output of system() function to file and then read that value, but looking for some other way to achieve this.

I tried to run "DS.CONFIGNLS CHECK" from uvsh but it enters interactive mode and I need to enter Q to quit. I dont know if there is a way to avoid this interactive phase and just get the output of command.

Any ideas and help appreciated

Regards

Vardan

P.S. We are running DataStage 3.6 on Windows NT 4.0
