Hi Chris,

Thank you for your help. We had explored this method but as I should have probably said on my initial tweet (but was limited by the character allowance) we are using Enterprise Guide Version 4.1. Unfortunately this does make it more difficult for us as we cannot make use of the Toolkit. For anyone using 4.2 and above your solution will be great and should save a lot of time and effort. I have found a work around by calling a SAS macro from within the custom task, which utilises the Vcolumn dataset and then reads the values back to the custom task.

I was wondering if you knew of anyway in 4.1, possibly using the Workspace Server that I could achieve the same results. As I said I have already implemented the work around but if I can use an alternative, more efficient method that would be great. Unfortunately, I cannot seem to find any documentation that would suggest I can achieve this.

Thank you for all your help.

Marco
