Hi,

Can anybody tell me how to pass value returned by a unix script as a job parameter?

dsjob ... -param retValue=$(Unix_Script)

thanks Anbu... Suppose I am using exec command stage for the same and the next job in the seq is user activity . how do i pass then ?

Use commandOutput of Exec activity

what do i give in that? parameter name?

Assign this as expression to the variable defined in User Activity

Don't try to type it in manually, use the "..." Parameter Helper to make the proper choice and fill it in for you.

thanks

Craig,

I believe same method can be used to pass multiple parameters if multiple values are returned by script?

Yes. It can only return one result but you could parse one of multiple delimited values from there for different parameters.
