hot to pass environment variable in server routine

[pongal]

Hi,
I would like to pass environment variable $TargetFilePath into server routine.
if i write this code, it is giving an error
strFileLoc = DSGetParamInfo(DSJ.ME,"#$TargetFileDir#", DSJ.PARAMVALUE)
Call DSLogInfo("strACRFileLoc :":strFileLoc, DSJ.ME)

how to read environment variable's valve in server routine
do i need to define anything

Thanks

Pass the environment variable to Input Argument

Tried using the dummy environment variable with $ symbol and it gives error message. And tried assigning this env variable to the argument and it gives error.

Can you pls share us how the env variable can be assigned to Argument of the routine.

Thanks for the inputs.

Tell us the exact error.

Also tell us if you've included JOBCONTROL.H in your routine, where the DEFFUN for DSGetParamInfo() function lives. (It is not necessary to include it in a job control routine.)

If there's no DEFFUN, the error is likely to be something like "dimensioned array not defined".

What kind of server routine do you use ? Before/After ?

Where do you call the routine ? Before/After job routine or within Job Sequence ?

Maybe you should add the env variable to Job properties first, and then code as #$env_var# in Before/After job routine, only $env_var in sequence routine activity.

Hi,
why do you have # signs around the parameter name?

It seems it can't be compiled with $TargetFileDir, "$" unexpected.

Well

Code: Select all

ErrCode = DSSetParam(hJob1, "$DS_ENABLE_RESERVED_CHAR_CONVERT", "True")

this is part of a job control code added automatically when adding a job with env variable as above
it compiles fine

Hi All,

Thanks for your inputs.

Hi Ray,

The error message is as follows.

Compiling: Source = 'DSU_BP/DSU.ttrd', Object = 'DSU_BP.O/DSU.ttrd'
*
WARNING: Variable 'TestInput' never assigned a value.

Compilation Complete.

Pls let me know if any of the header file to be included.

Hi Benny,

I am trying to create this as new server routine.

Hi Roy,

Tried using the variable without $ but it did not work.

The test code is as follows.

SS = TestInput

If SS = 'S' Then
Ans = 'RRRR'
End

If SS <> 'S' Then
Ans = 'TTT'
End

TestInput has been defined as env variable in the Administrator.

Pls let me know your inputs.

I have create a very simple routine only contain

Code: Select all

Call DSLogInfo("$APT_CONFIG_FILE", 'RoutineName')

, but the output is string "$APT_CONFIG_FILE"

Well

Code: Select all

ErrCode = DSSetParam(hJob1, "$DS_ENABLE_RESERVED_CHAR_CONVERT", "True")

this is part of a job control code added automatically when adding a job with env variable as above
it compiles fine

env variable is working fine in After job routine.
we should give parameter as '$TargetFilePath' and include
#INCLUDE DSINCLUDE JOBCONTROL.H

Thanks all of you.... :D
