Basically, I used a tBufferOutput component in the job reference by tRunJob_1, and I'm trying to set the values that were passed back to be the new values of the related context variable, and I'm getting the error below. (pics 1-6)

the code in tJava_1

context.OldFile=row3.OldFile;
context.mtime=row3.mtime;
context.mtime_string=row3.mtime_string;
context.NewFile=row3.NewFile;
context.RejectFile=row3.RejectFile;

the resulting error

Starting job BBdataTransform at 17:57 16/07/2008.

Job BBdataTransform ended at 17:57 16/07/2008. [exit code=1]

but if I set the parameters in tRunJob_2 to the values below (pic 7), then the job runs fine, so the problem must be my code in tJava_1...
        Parameter            Values
        OldFile                  row3.OldFile
        NewFile                 row3.NewFile
