Why do you want to do this in a Transformer stage? If you want to look at other options, you can use a Tail stage to get the last record in each partition or the last record in any of the partitions. Or if you want a really funky logic, you can hardcode a value in a new column (say dummy='x') and th...

Try using the sort option in Aggregator without the sort stage (Not that the data has to be sorted, But Datastage inserts a tsort operator and sorts the data on the right columns). See if it makes any difference.
