Hello, Im receiving the following errors on my datastage parallel job. the input came from a lookup stage.
My Transformer stage has 2 outputs, one which is null when the derivation is -3 , and the other is not null where table1.a=a and table1.b=b. can some1 help.

Output from transformer compilation follows:-Output from transformer compilation follows:

So... you are unable to compile the job? And it's just a problem with this job, I assume, not with every job that includes a transformer.

The "##E" lines are your Error lines and it doesn't seem to like your function calls. Post your derivations (constraints or otherwise) that involve your NULL checks. You've also got a number of Warnings about implicit conversions you really should clean up as well.

Check that your C++ compiler has a current licence.

Try using explicit, rather than implicit, data type transformations. And be careful about null handling.

The output of my look up stage has 5 columns and was used as an input to the transformer stage. I used a stage variable with the following derivation. ($V_CST_REPCTOT:Lnk_D_CL_VAL_ID_DMRFN.COSTOS_TOTALES = Lnk_D_CL_VAL_ID_DMRFN.UNQ_SRC_STM_ID) OR
($V_CST_ACSTMTDLV :Lnk_D_CL_VAL_ID_DMRFN.EXTRACTO_VIRTUAL = Lnk_D_CL_VAL_ID_DMRFN.UNQ_SRC_STM_ID)

The 2 output links are:
IsNotNull(StageVar): 2 from the 5 inputs are connected to it. If true data shall pass through one output link.

IsNull(StageVar): none from the 5 inputs links are connecter. new columns are defined. If true change null to -3 and pass to another input link.

Hope this can help.
Dont flame me please im just new to Datastage.

My memory could be off a bit, but I don't think version 8.1 supported null in a stage variable. I think that might've been introduced in version 8.5.

Mike

That is my recollection as well.

ps. There's no flaming here. We were all new once, even Ray.

Mike's memory is good. Handle the nulls in your stage variable expressions such that the final value of the stage variable is not null (for example using the NullToValue() function or one of its brethren).

Thank you for all your inputs. Now I dont have compile errors. What we did was remove the stage variable, add an additional transformer stage, create two new columns where the derivation we used was the one on the stage variable. and put the isnull and is not null into the constraint into the next transformer stage.
