Hi All,

Created dos bat file run DataStage job:

@echo off
SET DsJob=E:\Ascential\DataStage\Engine\bin\dsjob.exe
Dsjob -run -mode NORMAL PLQ StateCodeHash

Error message:
D:\TEMP>DWTEST.bat
'Dsjob' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.


BUT if I run from dos command line:

E:\Ascential\DataStage\Engine\bin\dsjob -run -mode NORMAL PLQ StateCodeHash

It works - run the job fine!!

Any ideas will be appreciated.

Well... in one you fully path the command (which works) and the other you have a relative path (which doesn't work). So, either change your batch file to use a full path to dsjob or make sure the Engine/bin directory is in your path.

I missed the 'SET' command... is there something special you need in order for 'Dsjob' to be recognized?

Or just skip the SET and use the full path to the .exe.

Craig,

Thanks . . . . Got it to work without the SET command!!

Hi,
Your problem is that after you define the variable you must address it enclosed with % signs, much like DS job parameters in some cases.
so in your case: should work.

By the way writing any lower/capital version of the DsJob variable is the same since unlike DS batch scripts are not cases sensitive.

IHTH,
