Macros in DataStage
DataStage® has a number of built-in macros. You can use these macros to track a job's metadata. These macros can be used in expressions, job control routines, and before-job and after-job subroutines.
You can select macros by opening the expression editor in DataStage and opening the list of macros.
See the following list for the available macros.
- DSFlowName
- DSHostName
- DSJobName
- DSJobStartDate
- DSJobStartTime
- DSJobStartTimestamp
- DSJobWaveNo
- DSProjectName
- DSProjectDirectory
- DSStageName
- DSProjectId
- DSJobRunId
- DSJobId
- DSJobController
The following code shows sample values for these
macros.
