Resolution

In the AS400 Connector post script examples, the SCRPOST member of the SCRIPT file in the data library contain the variable CTSA_SAY. This variable is not found anywhere else in the code and is not currently explained anywhere in the documentation, so questions have arisen regarding its purpose.

While executing the post script, the AS400 agent creates a temporary file with the path SCRIPT_WORK_DIR and a name that includes the process ID (S%PID). CTSA_SAY contains the fully qualified file name for this file (i.e. CTSA_SAY=SCRIPT_WORK_DIR\S%PID).

ARG CTSA_TOKEN
CALL "CTSCVAR" GET, CTSA_TOKEN
"OVRPRTF FILE(STDOUT) SPOOL(*NO) TOFILE(" || CTSA_SAY || ")"
IF RESULT <> "SUCCESS" THEN DO    
   SAY "SCRPOST: SCRIPT ERROR. CTSCVAR GET FAILED WITH RC = "RC
   RETURN 16
END
