Parameter Passing in sequence

[parag.s.27]

We are using an execute command stage for taking the output of Cat command which is reading a file. Next to this stage we are using a routine activity to take a specific value from the output of the Cat command.
Finally I am passing this specific value to a parameter which will be used in a different job of same sequence.

But when I run the job its throwing an error as: -

Code: Select all

LKCoverOptionsSeq..JobControl (@Job_Activity_7): Controller problem: Error calling DSSetParam(AUDIT_TRAIL_ID), code=-4
[ParamValue/Limitvalue is not appropriate]

Can some one suggest why is it so? We are not able to figure out

It's been discussed here quite a bit. Rather than someone typing it up one more time, how about searching for a signifcant portion of your error message? An exact search for "ParamValue/Limitvalue is not appropriate" should turn up what you need to know.

Inside the jobactivity, where your specifying $CommandOutput, provide the following
Code:

Field(Execute_Command_2.$CommandOutput,@FM,1)

OR simply
Code:

Execute_Command_2.$CommandOutput<1>

Had the same problem in UNIX and the notify stage which limits DS functionality. Needed to remove the linefeed so command now looks like:

Code: Select all

cat foo.txt|tr '\012' ' '

Note that you have to change LF to something so a space ' ' is ok for 1 line of data.
