The default value for a date must be a valid date. 0000-00-00 is not a valid date (there is no day zero, there is no month zero and, indeed, there is no year zero - the day before 0001-01-01 is 0001BC-12-31.)

Your routine could be made more efficient, and does not include a full leap year rule (there's also a "divisible by 400" part to the rule).

You will, however, need to prevent functions in the Transformer stage from receiving NULL as an argument.

Code: Select all

If IsNull(inlink.fieldname) Then SetNull() Else function(inlink.fieldname)
(Relaxing this restriction is on the road map, maybe even in the next version of Information Server.)

Christmas Contracts

Just remember, if you're signing a contract at Christmas time, that there's no sanity clause.

Sort your data using a Sort stage and generate a Key Change column. (Better is to use three Sort stages to generate a "last in group" column.) Accumulate the long string in a stage variable, outputting every row (or, if you have it, when "last in group" occurs). Use a Remove Dupl...

You are relying upon an implicit conversion from Decimal to String - do you really need Trim()?

Your date format string specifies seven digits but you only have five. Perhaps your date format string should be "%yy%ddd".

Don't believe it is, when there's only one server involved. Licensing is at the server level, not at the project level.

You could build your own interceptor in each project, but that's not an out-of-the-box solution.

These kinds of words (like "TA" for "trading as") can be classified into a suitable class. That will make the parsing and pattern-action easier to implement. You may need more patterns to handle things like "T/A".
