Hi Gurus,

In my job, I need to access, the next record while the current record is being processed. How do I do that ? Any ideas?

Thanks!
Naveen.

Hi again,

I have a sequential file source, for which I need to access the second record while the first is being processed. I hope I framed the question correctly.

Thanks again,
Naveen.

Hi NaveenD,

I don't think there is any direct way to do that, as Datastage processes only one row at a time.

There is no lookahead capability. You can use stage variables to compare current row to previous row, but never to next row.

The only possiblility is to create your own stage type if you want a lookahead capacity.

Hello Ray,

How do Igo about creating my own stage type? Please do let me know. Thanks much,

Naveen.
