Generating abends (Failures) from Datastage canvas in DS 390

Is there a way where we can generate an abend or a sysout from DS 390 jobs?

I would like to check a condition in my transformer , and if it doesnt want
to satisfy, I want my job to fail with an error message.

Is this possible in datastage canvas?

Please suggest

Short of modifying the JCL template, I don't believe so.

See if the Business Rule Stage utilizing the DISPLAY and EXIT statements can satisfy your need. I think they might do the trick.

Thanks Mike/Ray.

Lookup stage - has a facility to abort job for unmatching rows.
I am using it to check my conditions and abend if necessary.

But yes sysout doesnt seem to be possible.

Thanks,
Sankar
