Bob,

There is a simple PIVOT stage that can be installed (its on the cd under
packages) which does this for you. Once install and mapped the output link column that is to contain the "months" data will have a derivation simular to this; Jan, Feb, March, .. where Jan, Feb, March are the respective column names to pivot. For each column in the derivation it will generate a new output row.

This is a very efficent stage and does not require any intermediate files or other exotic techniques.

Regards,

Allen Spayth
