Unix command in datastage using External filter stage

[devesh_ssingh]

Hi,

I want to use Cut command in Datastage job with External filter stage.

My command is
Cut -d ',' -f 2

but not able to use argument part of above command in External filter stage.

when I am running Datastage job getting following:

External_Filter_0,0: Wrapped Unix command 'cut -d ','-f 2' terminated with error, exit code 2.External_Filter_0

External_Filter_0,0: cut: invalid delimiter


Can anyone help me how to give argument part in External filter stage.

I am not sure what is happening in your case, I just wrote a simple test (row generator -> external command -> peek) and put in your cut command and it worked like a charm.

I wanted to know how to use external filter stage properties so that it will recognize argument which i am sending.

Sure, you can do that. Change the command to "cut" and add the arguments "-d ','-f 2"
