Assign Value to Parameter within Job

Version: DataStage Parrallel 8.1

Issue: I'm trying to build a set of parallel jobs that depends on the previous parallel jobs execution and result set. I am having trouble figuring out how to capture a single row/column result set and store it in a variable that is shared across the current executing job. Can I assign a value to a parameter within a parallel job?

Thanks!
Chris

Nope.

Thanks Craig! Is there a way within DataStage to share a value across subsequent jobs?

I know I write the value to a file but this job will be executed currently by others and the "ID" retunred will be specific to that job.

The only way to "share" like that is to pass the value as a job parameter to all of the jobs. If this job is being run concurrently then it must be a multi-instance job and if that's the case you should be able to include the Invocation ID as part of the filename so there's no collision.
