Can you give an example of "condition" - how does the input table look like?

And the jobs1-15 are DI Studio created jobs, and are "totally" different?

Without knowing more, I think I might suggest a non DIS solution (or user written code) with some %include to call appropriate job.

how are you executing your job code? This conditional execution of jobs would typically be handled in your scheduling software. Please send some more details, perhaps this is solvable in some other way.

If the conditions are on data then

1. Handle the conditions through a splitter.

2. Put a LOOP in front of each work (output) table and pass the parameter, specific to the job, to the LOOP.

3. Do the same for each condition and process job(s) in the LOOP.

4. terminate the LOOP with END LOOP transformation.

Use the ref: http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/etlug/60948/HTML/default/viewer.htm#n0t84jtm1a5wofn1e4qp2t73pd5l.htm

Hope that helps.

Thanks,
