Conditional lookup using hased files

Hi,
I want to simulate the following logic in 1 transformer:

If data is found after hash1 lookup then
move data from hash1 to output
Else
lookup hash file 2
If data is found in hash2
move data from hash2 to output
Else
move 'not found' to output
End If

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hi Roy Thanks for your help. The warning I am getting is an Oracle warning and it appears in an DataStage INFO message (not a warning as I have probably described). However, it is still a warning - It reads like this: <date><time>info<program name><The column(3) in row(2) cannot be converted. See ne...

OOPS! You are correct.

However, after I corrected the mistake, I expected to get the job name followed by some numeric value for SJobInvocationId - But I only get the job name - Any suggestions?

I tried to use something like this: #DSJobName#DSJobInvocationId# But the macros are not working on the file na...

Even though I define each column as Varchar in the input Sequential stage, and as Varchar2 in Oracle target table, I still get trailing blanks.
