Hi

Is it possible to call a server routine written in BASIC from a parallel job

Thanks

Use the basic transformer and call the server routines there.

That means you didn't put the BASIC_Transformer stage on your parallel job's canvas.

The BASIC Transformer stage is deliberately not in the Palette by default, as its use is discouraged (because it has a number of execution limitations, particularly in a multiple machine environment). You can find it in the Stage Types branch of the Repository - and, if you wish, customize your Palette to add it. Beware, however, that it has the same icon as the parallel Transformer stage in the design area, so make sure to annotate any use of a BASIC Transformer stage so as to alert future maintainers to the fact that you have used one.
