Hi ,
I want to create a parameter named Filler in my job and pass a value of Char(250) non printable character or Space .
Depending upon whether the filler parameter is a char(250) or a space i need to populate my output columns.
Example
If i have 4 columns in my output sequential file and 2 of these columns are to be populated with a filler , in which case depending upon the value that i have passed in filler parameter the columns should be populated.
Please help.
Sam

Passing Char(250) as a parameter value should be perfectly legal. However to do so from the Job Run Options dialog (running job from Director or Designer) may well prove to be impossible. Create a job sequence - possibly containing just one Job activity - that will allow you to use an expression (and therefore the Char(250) function) when assigning a value to a job parameter.
