Re: ParseException when using PigServer.registerScript against a file that has a %declare directive

[Thejas Nair <te...@yahoo-inc.com>]

Hi Christian,
Parameter substitution is currently supported only for the command line mode
(batch mode). 
A preprocessor processes the entire pig-script at once to do parameter
substitution. This preprocessor does not get invoked when you call PigServer
directly or if the interactive mode (grunt shell) is used.
