Hi,
I want to know why the grouping functionality is available in the PIVOT stage
As we cannot do any aggregate function in this stage
I tried grouping and it gave me the same answer as it would give without grouping. I am failing to understand the importance
Can any one explain?
Thanks

Do you use a hammer to fasten wood screws? Or a sieve to cart water?
Use the right tool!
The Pivot stage does horizontal pivots.
The Aggregator stage does aggregation.
The FTP stage does FTP.
And so on.
That's the main principle underlying the graphical paradigm that DataStage uses.
