Hi,
I have created 2 parallel routines -
1. Checks if an input string has invalid characters, and if so replace them with an "_".
2. Returns 1 if the input string contains invalid Cahracters, else returns 0.
When I try to use these routines in a single transformer, the job gives me a transformer compilation error, but when I use any of these routines alone, the job compiles and runs fine. I am really unable to figure why this happens so.
Can anybody please shed some light on this behaviour? Cant 2 routines be used in a single transformer?
Regards,
The Bird.

could you tell us what the compiler error is?
I am pasting my Transformer Compilation Error message below.
I am not able to debug this. Any help on this would be appreciated.Output from transformer compilation follows:

Thanks Arnd. I think that's the proble. Infact, I just modified the contents of the function, but didnt change the name in teh second routine.ArndW wrote:It looks like you are declaring the same function twice with different numbers of parameters.
0006: extern int32 stripinvalidchars(string inpstr,string termstring);
0007: extern string stripinvalidchars(string inpstr,string termstring,string replace);
Let me check it out.
