I have found a way to check if the field has a numeric character in it.

For example of Str='fare3d'
then we can use the count function
if count(Str,'3')>0 Then 1 Else 0
The above condition could be extended for all the numeric numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0

But is there another way out.

Checking if not numeric value

Hi All,

I have a small query. I have a varchar field of length 40. Need to check if any character in that field is numeric. Is there a function to do this in a transformer stage.
....:(

Thanks

Hi All,

could not find a solution to this problem. Is it that the parallel jobs are more stringent about the data formats that are received when reading that data?

Yes you can use a aggregator stage with Cus_code as the group key.
