DSXchange

I need to build a job sequence that contains few jobs and I need to pass a value from one to the other. Job A calls an SP that returns a value. This value is used as an input parameter in the job B. How best to implement this scenario?
In the past I used sequential files to store values between jobs in a sequence, but I wonder whether there is any better way to do it and keep the file system out of the picture.

Set the value as user status in Job A and pass it on to Job B in the Sequence.

Thanks. In the meantime I have found the DSSetUserStatus. I might use this to pass the return value instead of the files.

@evee1 could you tell me what are the steps to pass the value to sequencer using User status?
Thanks M

Three steps:

1. Do an exact search for DSSetUserStatus
2. Read thru the matching posts
3. Implement!
