DSGetStageInfo with dataset

[rajan.n]

Hi All,
i have a routine which am using DSGetStageInfo in that.
The routine works fine.
But unfortunately this routine fails when it comes to a dataset stage in a job.

the Warning it gives is

"Jobname1.BeforeJob (DSGetStageInfo): Job control error (-7)
(DSGetStageInfo) Unknown stage name StageName_DS in job MainJob."

my doubt is does DSGetStageInfo performs on dataset stage..?
if not , can anybody help me who got knowledge on this..?

thanks much in advance.

Rajan.

It should work. Are you giving the correct name of the stage? Make sure there are no leading/trailing spaces.

Hi DSguru thnx for the reply,
yes my routine works fine with all the stages except this dataset !!

the routine itself uses code for the stage name.
StageList = DSGetJobInfo (JobHandle, DSJ.FULLSTAGELIST )
count = Count(StageList,",")
for i = 1 to count + 1
StageName = Field(StageList,",", i)
....................
jst pasted relevent code from my routine.

Does it fail for any other stage types? In server jobs DSGetStageInfo() only works for active stages. Try using DSJ.STAGELIST rather than DSJ.FULLSTAGELIST.

Hi ray
thnx for the reply,
yes this is frst time facing error (on only dataset)
and it did not give any warnign or error on any other stages.
(for ex: Seq file , we have run this routine on many jobs which has seq file stage but no problem up to now.)
if that true ( DSStageInfo acts only on active stages), do we have any method to know how we deal wth the passive stages.

Once again thanks for the reply.
