And certainly never warranted three exclamation points.
But thats the one thing which i felt missing in DSXCHANGE compared to old developernet. Its surely a 'good to have ' feature. Don't know if it was discussed before.

You can also use the

Code: Select all

AsInteger
Function. you may need to handle the possibility of nulls in input field.

You can keep the output column as data type Integer.



You can also use a modify stage with conversion specification using

Code: Select all

int32_from_decimal()
