Don't trust what View Data shows you in regard to "un-American" characters. Use a viewer that can display the Euro symbol, accented characters, etc. properly.

The second person personal pronoun in English is spelled "you", not "u".

Open its properties in the Repository (Stage Types branch) for a definitive answer.

Use stage variables (and maybe a Sort stage generating key change column sorting on id and division). Increment counter if no change, reset counter if there is a change.

The fact that it's an "import" error means that the file is being read.

What is the actual command output? From the error message, it would appear that the line "29-1" appears in it.

If all the standard values are single character, you can use a Convert() function on the final character. For example:

Code: Select all

Left(InLink.TheString,Len(InLink.TheString)-1) : Convert("abcdefghijk", "zyxwvutsrqp", Right(InLink.TheString,1))

Even though NLS is installed, you can disable it by setting NLSMODE to 0 in the uvconfig file (and running uvregen, etc.)
