Parameter Passing

There are several mechanisms. All have been covered on this list in the past, and at least two are taught on Ascential's "Programming with DataStage BASIC" class.
The mechanisms include:
(1) reading the ini file from a script and starting your DataStage job using dsjob from that script
(2) reading the ini file in a job control routine and starting your DataStage job from there
(3) reading the ini file in a Routine called from a Routine Activity in a job sequence, storing the parameter values, and using the stored values in a Job Activity
