Congratulations! You found a bug in the documentation! You cannot use NullToZero in a modify stage. This function only exists in a Transformer. Yes, they give this specific example in the documentation and Yes, it is wrong. The syntax for modify would be: fieldname = handle_null(fieldname, 0) Hope t...

Re: handling of String to Integer conversion
Hi, if Your data always looks like "1232123 ABZC" then You can also try the ColumnImport Stage. There You can specify an input column that will be split into output columns. Much like reading from a sequential file. In Your case specify "whitespace" as separator, define an intege...

The job runs with a few warnings but no errors. They are listed as per st...
