difference between routine and a function in datastage
Hi I having a dought that what is difference between a routine and a function in datastage
Srini
Normally, a function is passed parameters and returns a value while routines are called with parameters and may change the return value of these parameters. This naming convention is broken somewhat in DataStage, as the "Routines" category actually contains functions. The only true routines you can declare in DataStage are the Before and After Subroutines, and those are hard-coded to accept only 2 parameters.

Plus it is in the General forum; so I assumed that both were wrong. I don't know TX - are the functions and routines in that product?
