Re: you should use sequential mode

the Surrogate Key will do the same behavior if it is operat in parallel , to resolve that you should use either the Surrogate Key or the Tansformer in sequential mode If you are saying that the Surrogate Key Generator stage will "do the same" if not run sequential, as in not produce uniqu...

Hmmm... perhaps match based on three, allow multiple values to be returned from the lookup, order by length desc and take the first match per group? :? ... that is great idea , but unfortunately it won't work for me , because when takingthe lookup on substring of 3,it will give many results which s...

Many Thanks chulett for your reply and interest , i've thinked in that but is there is any other method to make it dynamicaly , i'm afraid of any ...

i agree with what chulett said , i also was confused about that before , but now take it as a rule , the mask for the function is telling the function how the input is passed to you and further the function understand the input to manipulate it
