Passing value to environmental variable

[karthikraju]

I have 3 jobs. In my first job i do some calculation. If the result is say 1 then i run the second job with that value else i run the third job.

Can any one let me know how to pass the the value from a transformer stage to the environmental variable so that i can use it in the next job.

why you want to pass value to environmental variables,
you can use DSRunJob in transformer to do this thing,

You dont need to go the "environment variable" route for this. Write your value to a file. Write a small routine that reads the contents of the file using DSExecute() by doing a cat. Call that routine in the job activity in the derivation of "a" job parameter.
This way whatever is present in the file, will now be the value of the job parameter which you can use in the job.
