Most of the sites Ive worked with use a hashed file to store these. One row per global constant, the key is the constant name and the single non-key column is the constants value for this particular run. Its very efficient. The hashed file can be loaded by the first job in a sequence that gets the values for this run from, say, job parameters or a text file.

Subject: Defining global constants for runtime
Hi, We have facility in datastage to acept input from the end user as
a parameter.And some parameters will be common across all the jobs.So Is there any way to define a global constant with value .So that all the jobs will take the same value from the global constant.Can anybody help me. Thanks Tina
