Hi All,

I am trying to call a map repeatedly from a map and capture the output of the map to caller map. Then, at the last step of the caller map execution, I want to concatenate the outputs and write it to a file/db. I used " -OE1 " (assuming first output card) and noticed that some characters (like Hyphen) are not retained in the returned output text stream.

I have resolved the issue with writing directly to a file (" -OF1+ ") in append mode. This works for my case.

However, could you please suggest me any option to capture the data stream without altering data content?

Thanks,

Debnarayan

Have you tried wrapping the RUN() inside a CPACKAGE() so that no conversion is done?

Example:

=CPACKAGE(RUN("Blob.mmc",ECHOIN(1,Input)+" -OE1"),"xyz")

....replace 'xyz' with the actual encoding of the object from which you call the rule.  i.e. UTF-8.

Thank-you.
