ABAP Extract Stage and Job Parameters

mramak · Post by **mramak** » Wed Mar 11, 2009 7:14 am

I was searching the forum to see if anyone had issues using Parameters with ABAP Extract Stage.

We are currently using ABAP Extract stage to extract data from a list of tables in SAP. The "Build Extraction object" Generation method has options to include job parameters. However, each time we include a job parameter in the ABAP Stage, the stage fails to extract any data. Interestingly, we replace the job parameter with the actual value, the stage extracts data.

Has anyone tried using Job parameters in ABAP Stage ? I would certainly appreciate your inputs. Thanks in advance.

I have used job parameter in the ABAP stage in DataStage 7.5 and the job work fine, but when I need to edit the query I need replace the job parameter with the value.
