Process database job stored procedure output variables as IWS variables :- case TS020814036

When defining an IWS job using a database stored procedure, we can set it up in IWS and click lookup parameters to get the variables used by the procedure for both in and out. This works fine and we can specify variable table values as the input values. However the value according to the documentation for the output variable can only be set to “?”. When the job runs it prints the output values returned in the stdlist such as P_FROM_DATE=20251111 and P_TO_DATE=20251112 which are the output parameters defined in the stored procedure.

 

If we need to pick up these values to pass them to a subsequent job the only way to do this is to have an interim job which reads these values from the stdlist of the stored procedure job and then run a mini script to set values using jobprop which can then be picked up in yet another job to set the variables. This means having 2 additional jobs for every stored procedure job to process the variables.  

An enhancement is requested to be able to write to the variable table directly from the stored procedure job into a variable table value. If this is not possible then at least provide functionality where the output variables can be picked up (maybe using jobprop type functionality or equivalent) by a subsequent variable table job so only 1 additional job is required instead of 2.
