reading multiple files

Hello

I am reading multiple files from sequential file stage by using the Read Method: File patern. My job is Seqfilestage--transformer--seqfilestage.

I have 3 files in the input directory with file name pattern similar (*.dat). The job is running fine and i am getting the output which has the contents of the 3 inpiut files. Is there a way that we can track each file name??

thanks

There is, and a search for "file pattern" turned up a number of conversations, including this one which looks like it should help.

Within the sequential file use the option file pattern and also filename ..I think it will give output along with the filename .

Hi

Thanks for the reply. I want to track the filename of the each file being processed in datastage director.

mate dodda...whats the issue in tracking the filenames in director? doesn't director gives you a running log of everything?

else mate...dodda... us peak stage and tune it as per your choice

In your input seq file stage you can add the option for File Name Column.
