Hi ,

CAn you try this option , i think if the incoming value has null then you cannot specify (ip_column2)[1,7]

if i/p_column1 = "A" then
IF IsNotNull(ip_column2) THEN
ip_column2[1,7]
ELSE
SetNull()
Else SetNull()

I now resolved the problem by removing the link and attaching the link back again with input link first to be attached to lookup stage and then the reference link. I thought Datastage is smart to handle that,but does not work that way :x

Input column disabled for lookup stage

Hi , I have a job which has 6 lookup stages , But in some of the lookup stages the input columns option is disabled . Since this is required for setting the lookup condition , any clue what i am missing out here?
