How to run same Sequence from sequential file
Posted: Tue Jun 21, 2011 10:34 am
I want to utilize the same set of DS jobs, the challenge is the sequential source file records are the name of each of the table names that will be used for input.
here are the steps:
>file has a table name in each record
>read the record
>use the retrieved tablename as the source
>run the DS sequence
>read next record
> repeat process
The sequence will use the looping stage the number of records will be known prior to running the process.
I'll add at this time that the DS process is an on request and not schedule.
I was trying to find away to avoid replicating the jobs to meet the source file requirements. This is running DS ver 8.5.
Thanks,
