calling Job parameters

[apkselvam]

Hi folks,
Is it possible to call job parameters in any other stages except transformer.
Thanks in advance

Call , You mean use. Yes, by surrounding them with hashes (#).

What are the stages in question?

[ray.wurlod]

Just about any stage in a parallel job has an "Insert Job Parameter" tool or a "Job Parameter" selection from an expression editor menu.

So if CNY is a Job Parameter defined, then should I use #CNY# to refer to this job parameter value in the Transformer ???

No. The 'surround the parameter name with hashes / pound signs' is the rule, but as with all rules there are exceptions. Transformer derivations are one place where you don't enclose them.

If you are unsure, always best to use the 'helper' tool under the ellipses (...) whenever it is available. When you pick the appropriate Job Parameter from there, it will know if it needs to use hashes or not.

No. There is an exception for it when using in Transformer definitions.

[ray.wurlod]

The rule actually says that the exception is "in expressions".

Anywhere you need a parameter reference in a property, such as a File property, then the surrounding "#" characters are required.
