Hi,
How can we view the file in Unix that was given the file name as
\pathname\filename_#DSJobstarttimestamp#.txt. I was able to create new file everytime the job runs. But do not know how to view the contents of that file in unix because there is space in the file as it has timestamp in it.
Could somebody help in syntax to view the file with timestamp in its name.

Already done did that.

Double quotes work also.

So do wildcards. cat filename_*.txt.

How you added #DSJobstarttimestamp# to filename because i have not seen any DS Macro functions for sequential stage file property and it is available in transformer.Please correct me if i am wrong?

You just type it in.

You can also open the derivation editor in a Transformer stage, right-click to choose it out of the DS Macro... list, and copy it to your clipboard from there. If you paste it into a filename then you have to add the # signs yourself.
