How about: DSLink3.call_date[1,4]:"-":DSLink3.call_date[5,2]:"-":DSLink3.call_date[7,2] :Space(1):DSLink3.call_time[1,2]:":":DSLink3.call_time[3,2]:":":DSLink3.call _time[5,2]:".000" You could use " " rather than Space(1) for slightly more efficiency; I wanted to thwart the line wrap in most email s...

How Many Lines Read?

LineCount = 0 Loop ReadSeq ... Else Exit LineCount += 1 Repeat will be the most efficient. The FileInfo() function has a key that returns the current line. FileInfo(filevariable,FINFO$CURRENTLINE) Constants for FileInfo() function key arguments are declared in the header file FILEINFO.H; add the dec...

Sounds to me like you want to perform the test in a stage variable. Set the stage variable to a "1" if it is in the range or "0" if it is not. This stage variable is used in the if statement for the derivation where you need to modify the output field value. It is also used as the constraint for you...

Can I perform two actions within a transformer derivation?

All, I have a question about what actions are possible within a derivation. I am checking that an input value is within a range. If it is not within the range, I would like to perform two actions-- 1) modify the output for that field so that the error is easily identifiable in the error log, and 2) ...

Hi Ian, if you are talking about "coursor look-up", you can read the hash file as UV table. In that way,for each records in the tream link, you can "scroll" all records in the reference link.

If so, can I run the same D...

Hi Simon,

I suggest you check out the code in the SDK routine DateTimeStampToODBCWithTime - you might find that using this sort of string manipulation in a transform is faster.

Hello, DS TimeStamp is in fact a string in the "yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss" format. You can just split and join the two strings you received, something like: DATE[1,4]:-:DATE[5,2]:-:DATE[7,2]: :TIME[1,2]:::TIME[... Check the syntax, as i do not have any DS running here to check it. Then, you can declare ...
