getting status of Executecommand stage in sequence

[reddy.vinod]

Hai,
I have a problem while designing sequence job.
My flow is like below
Exec1====>Exec2===>Exec3===>Exec4

Here i am executing one shell script with multiple parameters using 4 executecommand stages.

if exce1 is successfully completd then Exec2 will start.and exec3 and exec4 also depend on the successfull run of exec1.here we can also design job by taking 3 oupts from exec1 to other executecommand stages,but i want to run these stages in a single flow(means one after one).

So,i have to use the staus of exec1 stage in exec3.does we have any functions to return status of the execute command stage in sequence job.Can i use "Excutecommand.$returnvalue".will it return status of executecommand.could u please help me.

Yes, you can use the Activity Variable $ReturnValue with the Execute Command stage name to check what exit status your command returned. There is also $CommandOutput if you need to check/pass whatever the command echoes to 'the screen'.

U's profile shows that he is still a beginner with DataStage. Did you intend to use the second person personal pronoun, which is spelled "you"?
