Allow for scripting of DataStage environment variable export.

Hi,

This is a enhancement request to facilitate the scripting of the export of DataStage environment variables to a file. This operation can be manually executed using the DataStage Administrator client but I cannot find an equivalent command which will perform this task which I can script.

I'm using the commands below to add/change/list env variables in the DataStage project, but dsadmin (or istools) do not support scripting of an env var export to a file.

Some environment variable commands below but no export option!

./dsadmin -envadd

./dsadmin -envset

./dsadmin -listenv


I have been advised by IBM support that this operation cannot currently be scripted (please refer to Case TS008595246)


best regards,

David Murphy.
