ps. Don't use the quotes that Arnd included, either.

Hi,

i tried as Arnd mentioned without quotes and concatenation. then it is showing error as Expected:Express. in the job activity stage itself.

used in job activity stage:
Excmd_file.$CommandOutput<1> ---> but showing error as showing error as Expected:Express

Thanks in Advance,

Nice... double posts 36 minutes apart. Make sure you back up and see what you've missed.

hi chulett,

Thank u very very very much, it is working..

thanks for your support,
kamal.

Ah good, either way should work but as noted it can depend on your version as "earlier" versions don't support the same variety of expressions that the "later" ones do.

Hi chulett,

i have a file kamal.prm which contains the below data
-----
[s_m_db2_trn_db2_EVENT_accounting_class]
$$EVENT_START_DATE=2009-07-10 09:08:18

$$DEFAULT_VALUE=''
$$DEFAULT=0
$$CONNECTOR_ID=JDBC06
$$OBJECT_NAME=HSCSP_ACCOUNTING_CLASS
$$OBJECT_VERB=Create
$$EVENT_STATUS=0
$$EVENT_COMMENT=This event is generated from Accounting_class entity
--------
now in the jobsequence in execute command stage (excmd_file_stg) i used the below unix command to read the DEFAULT variable value
grep -w "DEFAULT" /CONSIP/datasets/kamal.prm | cut -f2 -d"="

Now i am trying to send this value to job in jobactivity by setting in the parameter("k_ftch") value expression as
Convert(@FM,"", excmd_file_stg.$CommandOutput).
This parameter type is integer and used in the one of the job column (in_DEFAULT) type integer in Transformer.

But when running this sequence(job_sequence) it is throwing below error
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
job_seq..JobControl (@Job_Activity_0): Controller problem: Error calling DSSetParam(DEFAULT), code=-4
[ParamValue/Limitvalue is not appropriate]

and sequence is Aborting...

my question is Convert(@FM,"", excmd_file_stg.$CommandOutput)
whether this convert function reads the integer value? if not how to read in integer format and send it to paramter k_ftch in job as integer?

because for character Convert(@FM,"", excmd_file_stg.$CommandOutput) this is working and giving result in the job. For reading integer it is not working.

Thanks in Advance,
kamal.

Doesn't matter, integer or string it will work. Post the log message where it shows the command being run, it will list the 'Output from command' as well. I'll wager it's not what you think it is.

Hi chulett,

Please help me how to convert a string value say '3' to an numeric & integer & decimal value as 3 in datastage using any functions.

if this happens then my problem solved...

i checked some typeconversion functions.. but it is giving 0 result instead of 3.

Thanks in Advance,
kamal

No, you do not need any "type conversion", your problem is all in the command you are executing. And we need to see the individual log message from when that particular Execute_Command_DEFAULT stage ran, we need details not summary information. Details.
