Hi,

I am quite new to Parallel Routines, I created a parallel routine and when i compiled the same in my transformer in parallel job i got the following compilation error "Extrenal function library path name cannot contain spaces". Please find the details of how the routine was created...

This is my C++ program

#include <stdio.h>
char * testroutine()
{
char* OutStr;
OutStr="Hello World - Object Testing";
return OutStr;
}

I created the object file as specified in the below link (my DataStage client + server) is installed in the windows environment.

http://dsxchange.com/viewtopic.php?t=12 ... 7e9de8c7cd.

I specified the following in the parallel routine

Routine Name: testroutine
Type: External Function
Object Type: Object
Return type: char*
Library path: C:\Documents and Settings\sridhar\testroutine.o
No Input Arguments.

Please Help !!

Folder where you object lies (Documents and Settings) has spaces part of its name.

Try storing in some place without spaces.

Hi Sainath,

Is there any other way out, because i find the object file getting created only in the Documents and Settings Path, as that's where the compiler is. I tried the following

cxx -W/TP -W/EHa -DAPT_USE_ANSI_IOSTREAMS -c C:\testroutine.cpp , but the objectfile is not getting created in the specified path. I also tried copy pasting the .cpp and .o file to C: path but of no use i get another error

"Subprocess command failed with exit status 40192"

Please Help

It doesn't matter where the compiler is, it matters where you run the compile command from. And I'm sure there's an option to create the output elsewhere. Or use "Docume~1" for the directory name.

Thanks Craig, both of the solution recommended by you worked , but now i face another compilation error. Please help me out ?

Try giving the location as C:/testroutine.o.

But why do you give the full path as the system itself must be able to locate it.

No changes , i tried that as well the error persists, i had spent whole day in writing a simple parallel routine, but all in vain i am not able to proceed further. I am clueless of what this error could be ?

Any clue or help on what this error could be is much appreciated

What is your PATH ?

Where have you copied the .o file ?

The Library Path is C:\testroutine.o and i had also compiled the .o file and the file is available at C:\testroutine.o.

I was referring to your PATH setting in your environment.

I have not made any PATH setting. But i have listed down the environmental Variable and its path, additionally i have also listed below the COMPILER, COMPILER options and LINKER options.Hope this helps..
