I'll just reformat this as a bug report. Inside a DAG file, SUBDAG EXTERNAL foo /dev/null DIR=dontcare is correctly rejected with the following error: 01/12/15 13:20:49 ERROR: foo.dag (line 1): invalid parameter "DIR=dontcare"01/12/15 13:20:49 Expected syntax: SUBDAG EXTERNAL nodename dagfile [DIR directory] [NOOP] [DONE]However, SPLICE bar /dev/null DIR=dontcare just ignores the spurious parameter and continues as if it were not there. I think it should do the same as SUBDAG EXTERNAL does.
I've created a bug ticket for this. Kent
