Make sure the record length every entire record is equal.

Eg. Record length 5

11111
222
22222

here the second record 222 must have 2 spaces at the end when reading the fixed width file otherwise it will get rejected

Need of an active stage between two passive stages

Hi All,

I am loading data from a dataset to a Oracle table using a ODBC stage. I remember I read that its always advisable to use a active stage between two passive stages. Like a copy stage in this example of mine.

Can you advice on this.

Thanks
Devi

Also if you know that the last field value is a date of length 10 then take a substring to get the second field value

I tried that. If I have 8 rows from the reference link out of which one is the right one then the lookup shows failed on the remaining reference records. Also this would not display the error message correctly why the lookup failed.

How do I do it.
What would the condition be? If I do not obtain any value from the reference link I need to abort the job.
