Using #DSJobStartDate# variable in the Modify stage

Post by bipul »

Hi All,

I am tring to usage "#DSJobStartDate#" variable in the Modify Stage, but it gives error as
"
main_program: Error parsing modify adapter: Error in binding: Expected source field selector; got: ""2006-09-21""
Expected destination field selector, got: ")"; input:
keep name
;
keep age
;
t_date:date = Date_From_String("2006-09-21","%yyyy-%mm-%dd")
;

"

Can anyone please let me know if it's possible to use "#DSJobStartDate#" in Modify Stage and if yes then the syntax for the same.

Thanks in advance.

It is not possible. The Modify stage does not support the use of job parameters.
