Typically, one would explain the how of something, not simply state that it can be done.

Does the file contain just the date, or is there other information also in the file? There is a very recent Webinar (at www.dsxchange.net) on the very topic of processing data in files from job sequences.

have a user variable activity and declare a variable

extract the date value from file

Make sure before user variable stage use exec command stage to display the value from file

U is currently working on a server edition site. I don't believe U has ever worked in the enterprise edition environment.
