I apologize that I posted it on the server Forum.
I should rephrase my scenario. The lookup table has only 1 key. To do a lookup against that table, I need to string together 2 fields in the source file for the lookup. I am trying to avoid using the Transformer stage and see if I can concatenate the fields in the Lookup stage.
But when I tried it with Keyvalue1 : Keyvalue2, I got run time errors.
Thanks!!

Hello,
I also need to do a lookup with a 2-part key in a PX job agaist a DB2 table. I concatenated the 2 fields in the Lookup stage in the format that's mentioned (Keyvalue1 : ":" : Keyvalue2). The compile was ok but the run generated the following error.
main_program: Syntax error: Error in "lookup" operator: Error in input redirection: Error in input parameters: Error in view adapter: Error in binding: Error in field type: Expected identifier; got: "":"", line 91
Expected operator name, got: ")", line 97; text: copy
Thanks for your help!!

You've moved way off topic! In general you don't use hashed files in PX, and your post indicates that you want to perform a lookup in PX.
Ideally, post the question on the PX forum.
Basically, though, you no longer create a composite key - that's purely for hashed file. Instead, you declare as many key columns as there are key columns in the probe table.
