[Divya_K]

Can you tell me how to get the parameter values for a specific job from a file, as I dont want it to be hardcoded in the job properties.

hii..
i want to use a parameter file whose format wil hav "name,value" pair.
Can you let me know how to use it...

Hmmmm.... although never tried it but I guess that you can do it in this fashion:

1. Have your name value pair in a text file as comma separated (any separator would do).
2. Write a basic routine to fetch that file, read it sequentially, use string in column1 as parameter name and string in column2 as value.

I guess the functions you might want to look at is DSSetParam (hope my memory is intact )

Hope this helps.
