How to get value of an Env variable in a stage of a job

[goutam]

I have an oracle enterprise stage through which i want to load some data to a oracle table . I want to insert the USERID to one of the column of table through which datastage logon to oracle database. This USERID is parametrised and is an environment variable as $ORA_USER_SID. When i tried to insert this value i.e #$ORA_USER_SID# in write mode =upsert and user defined statement it is giving me an error. I also tried to extract this value of env variable thru utility function GetEnv (could not recollect the exact name) in transformer stage .But i am unsuccesful. Any suggestion?It's urgent

Hi Goutam

Try to use the function GetEnvironment('ORA_USER_SID') with this sintaxe.

If it is already 'parameterized' - i.e. a Job Parameter, can you not just refer to the parameter name itself in that column's derivation?

Did u try to run ur user defined upsert without using the environment variable? Reason to ask this is that may be the error is not because of the parameter but in the User defined Statement.

Also you can try to assign the column the env variable in a transformer prior to the TGT stage.
