Transformer main_program: Fatal Error: Not a v1.1 type: date

Hi

I have a job in which a transformer accepts records having 84 fields in each.There are 8 constraints to be handled with the output records also having 84 fields each.

Since one transformer cannot handle so many columns,the input has been provided to 2 transformers.However,a run time error occurs

[b]

main_program: Fatal Error: Not a v1.1 type: date[/b]

Help needed urgently.

Hi

I think this is not probem with no of columns in the Transformer.

I hope you need to re design before data loading into transformer stage.

Thanks
Man

Hi,

There is an environment variable called 'APT_AUTO_TRANSFER_BLOCK" (I am not sure the variable name) and this variable is set 'True' then this problem occurs. Check this variable and set it to 'False'

Hope this would help.

Regards
Saravanan

The statement that a Transformer stage cannot handle as many as 84 columns will come as a surprise to those who are handling hundreds of columns through this stage type.

No, your problem is elsewhere. Can you please post the exact and entire text of the error/warning message(s) associated with the job abend?

In the Administrator, set the option APT_AUTO_TRANSPORT_BLOCK_SIZE
to false.
