Tidal issue running Unix shell script

[Binu_Cherian]

We are receiving an odd error trying to execute a Unix shell script against the DataStage servers.  The error we are receiving is:
Launcher Error: Launch error:- Exec format error

Any idea what might cause such an error?

Hi,

Had this a couple of days back. As I recall the problem was calling a command with invalid arguments. In my case I had a script and I was passing some job variables as arguments but I'd defined one of the variables incorrectly.

So if my script was intended to be called as "/usr/bin/myscript " but I then didn't define one of those group variables then it failed with the error you are seeing.

Cheers

Joe
