we have a parameter file in Unix location where we
have .txt files and those file will be used as source in
informatica.

I cannot use source file name directly as file name will
keep on changing in unix location.
I need to define $$InputFile as parameter.
Can anybody send me the parameter file and the steps to
handle this.

Hi sure
All u need to do is
Create a parameter file name
