Hi ALL,
I am rejecting the data in a sequential file. My requirement goes like this.

I need to append the date at the end of the file name. so when users wish they can able to see the rejected data on a particular day.

Please let me know how to do that?

Thanks,
Madhavan.S

The job is invoked via a shell script and running on OS: UNIX.

Have a job parameter for date and append the file name with the job parameter.

Code: Select all

FileName_#date#

where date is the job parameter.

That's certainly the easiest way, if you can pass the date in. You can also (script or routine) write to a fixed name and rename it 'after job'.

This can be done from the Sequencer in the parameters section. This statement will format a date as such: 'FILENAME'_YYYYMMDD.TXT

"FILENAME" :"_": Convert("-","", DSJobStartDate):".":".txt"
