Column Generator Default Value

Post by vijayrc »

Hi,
I'm using Column Generator to generate few columns, but I want to Initialize those fields [SPACES]. Is there a simple way to have all the generated columns initialized [rather than going column by column and initializing it] ??
Thanks in advance
Vijay

What algorithm are you using in the Generator property? All you have to do is use a Cycle and specify it as the correct number of spaces. But you do have to configure each generated column separately.

Thanks Ray...That's how I did atleast to some of the columns generated [Type=Cycle and Value=" "]. But I have tons of fields and was wondering if there's any default that can be assigned to each of the generated columns globally for any particular Col Gen Stage...!!!
