Routine

I have below routine which suppose to take the job name and move the job to the target location (category) provided by me. It seems the routine is not working fine. Could anyone assist me on this.

(Job name and target catagory is provided by user in routine)

JobName = ''
JobCategory = ''
JobName<-1> = 'Sample job'; JobCategory<-1> = 'Targetcategory'

OPEN '','DS_JOBS' TO DSJobsFilePtr ELSE STOP 'Bad open on DS_JOBS'
JobCount = DCOUNT(JobName,@FM)
FOR Index = 1 TO JobCount
CurrentJobName = JobName<Index>
READ JobRecord FROM DSJobsFilePtr, CurrentJobName
THEN
PRINT "Converting Job "':CurrentJobName:'" from Category ":JobRecord<3>:'" to "':JobCategory<Index>:'"'
JobRecord<3> = JobCategory<Index>
WRITE JobRecord ON DSJobsFilePtr, CurrentJobName
END
ELSE
PRINT 'job "':CurrentJobName:'" Not exist.'
END
NEXT Index
CLOSE DSJobsFilePtr
Ans = ''

Hi,

I've just test it, and for me it works fine, I don't see where's your problem.
Did you refresh the repository ?

Pierre.

Hi,

Just to confirm, is it working fine in V8?

No, it won't as the "Universe" repository is no longer the sole repository for information like this in the 8.x release. Many of your old 7.x ways, especially "under the covers" stuff like this, are no longer valid.

As noted elsewhere recently, the local repository is not used for table definitions at all. They are always in the unified respository in version 8.

So is there any other way, this requirement can achieve in DS V8

You can use drag and drop in the Designer client.

I am not aware of any version 8 programmatic method for changing the repository folder in which a component resides.

I suppose that you could enable server side tracing then open Designer and perform the drag and drop, investigate the subroutine calls made, and try to emulate them. But who wants to be an emu?

Ray:- Drag and drop is ok till the number of component to move is less. If its a huge number then i think it would be a tidious task.
Any other suggestion.
