RUNNR2ALPHA

Use the RUNNR2ALPHA script function to convert the 10-digit RunID of a job or report file to a 7-character alphabetic string. This is useful for processing the file name in a script. For example, the RunID 2000061045 of a job report is converted to OGMITAEV.TXT on Windows, where O indicates that the file is a job report and GMITAEV is the 7-character representation of the RunID.

Tips: Use the GET_ATT script function with the FILENAME_JOB or FILENAME_SYSOUT attributes to retrieve 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-character string back to the 10-digit RunID. For more information, see ALPHA2RUNNR.
