RUNNR2ALPHA

Use the RUNNR2ALPHA script function to convert the 10-digit RunID of a job or report file to a 7-digit string (letters). Doing so is useful to process the file name in a script. For example, the 2000061045 of a job report is converted to OGMITAEV.TXT in Windows. The letter O indicates that the file is a job report, and GMITAEV is the 7-digit string of the converted10-digit RunID.

Tips:

• Use the GET_ATT script function with the FILENAME_JOB or FILENAME_SYSOUT attributes to supply the file names of the job and job report, for the job that contains the script. For more information, see GET_ATT.
• Use the ALPHA2RUNNR script function to convert the 7-digit string (letters) to the 10-digit RunID. For more information, see ALPHA2RUNNR.
