For that you can you can use DSExecute call (within the transformer).

Do you have a consistent naming convention that allows you to identify where the "input", "output" and "reject" links occur? If so, you can use the DSGetLinkInfo() function to retrieve the link row counts.

In every job design , we have put the same suffix string for ex. files names in first job are abc_SF, def_SF ,ghi_LKP ,jkl_LKP and second job these may aaa_SF,bbb_SF,ccc_SF,ddd_LKP,eee_LKP . I think we cann't use with DSGetLinkInfo(), because we dont have same naming convention except suffix string .

Then you need to think long and hard about how to solve your requirement in a generic fashion.

How DO you define "Input rows"? How do you define "Output rows"? And so on.

Perhaps you could create an after job subroutine and pass it a list of the link names in the job for which you want row counts. That would be fairly easy to do.
