Hi All,
I wrote a job that will be called by other processes sequencers to perform a common functionality. One of my parameters is the input file name. In many of our processes, this parameter is actually built from other params (like #name#_#source#_#date#.dat). I am trying to pass to my job this name as one parameter. Problem is that I cannot find a way to concatenate the parameters as one when I fill the job activity parameters list in the sequencer stage. Anybody know how this could be done?
Thanks
Mat
Concatenate Parameters in Job sequencer Job Activity

You can't - at least not there as it only accepts a single parameter.
If I'm following what you need to do, you could write a routine that takes multiple parameters and concatenates their values together, passing the result out. The output from this routine could then be used in the Job Activity's parameter list.

Yes, you will need an extra stage. Many of these fiddly restrictions on sequence jobs are fixed up in 7.5.

I think it was two weeks ago! There is an announcement of 7.5 and details of new functionality over on Ascential devnet. You should check it out. I think it also contains a summary of new features in version 7.0 and 7.1. You're moving from version 6, you'll get cut and paste of stages, hanging links, automated restart in sequence jobs etc.
