xyz --- Convert the MetricDate (MM/DD/YYYY) into YYYYMM format

in the transformer stage how to write in the mapping


can anyone plzz explain me by step by step plz

Let's see - you want urgent support late Friday night/early Saturday morning to solve a problem for which the answer is in the manuals and is taught in the entry-level class?

This is not the place to be.

This is an all-volunteer site, people post here as and when they can. They are not paid for doing so.

You have two choices.

You can sign up with your support provider for premium service. This will give you a good idea of the true cost of providing urgent support 24x7.

Or you can engage a qualified consultant to read the manual for you.

Listen Troy, I'm pretty new to this forum, so I'm not as tough on newbies as Ray. The problem is he's right (dammit).

Just to show how compassionate I am though, I'm going to give you the tools to find the answer:

The mapping is:

oconv(iconv(MetricDate, ":( "), "" )

To find out what is, preass HELP and type in iconv. To find out what is, press HELP and type in oconv.

If you get no satisfaction, poke around the SDK Date routines.

Here is another tip. Do an "exact" search to find words like "iconv" and "oconv".

any one i want real help man not suggestions why you people dont understand i gone through the manual but when implementing its different . so pls help me

Even easier is to treat the incoming date as a string. You can do this in server edition. Then another possible answer is

You want "real" help. Then you go to your support provider and pay for it. Everyone here volunteers their time and their ideas. If you don't like their ideas, then take your business elsewhere.

For example there are several excellent self-employed consultants here who would be happy to address your problems, but would expect to be paid for doing so - this is how they make their income.

Yours is a very antagonistic post for a first-timer - or have you just changed your nick?

Incidentally, you will get an exact solution to the date conversion part of your question from on-line help for Oconv() and Iconv() functions, and definitely they are also in the DataStage BASIC manual. I took time to check. But I think the substring solution is easier. You might also find this article on date conversion edifying.

Hi,
Ray Gave you the date solution.
your in(1970,1971) inside the if statement will have to be replaced with something like: (link.col=1970 Or link.col=1071)
and your first expression seems ok.

As you have noticed your best giving an informative subject to your post rather then pleeding for urgent reply (simply since no urgent reply is promised).

I think this site is being treated as a school lately a free one none the less.
I think management should take care of employee's training and if needs be acompnying mentoring to start things off or face the alternative slow progress of things.
This place is for helping resolve issues not teach the product from scratch.
No offence ment to the poster of this topic this is strictly an overall observation, which is entirely IMHO (In My Humble Opinion) and is not pointed to any specific member of this forum.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
