Custom Stage Type BuildOp Help

[scoope]

I am trying to find the index of a character (whitespace) in a string in a custom buildop. When I generate the buildop I get an error that .find is not part of the APT_String class. How can I accomplish this in a buildop? Any help would be appreciated.

Code: Select all

char gen_ssn_cde(APT_String ssn)
{

  APT_String constspace = " ";
  size_t found;
  ssn.removePadding(' ');
  found=ssn.find(constspace);
  if (found > 2)
     return 'N';

}

and when I try to Generate the buildop I get the following error.

Code: Select all

1540-0217 (S) "find" is not a member of "class APT_String".

Thanks,
Seth

The API is documented in the Parallel Job Advanced Developer's Guide.

But why are you reinventing the wheel? The inbuilt Index() function can perform the task you describe.

This isn't really server job question, is it?

Ray,

I tried to use the index function with no luck... I was doing it like so... but getting errors. I'm not in front of the code right now so I cannot give you the exact error. Is this the correct way to use "index".

Code: Select all

if (index(ssn, " ", 1) > 2)

Thanks,
Seth

P.S. Sorry for posting in the wrong category if I did so.

Your Index() function syntax is good (assuming you have a Then and an Else clause for the If, and that this is an expression in a Transformer stage rather than in Build stage code). Therefore please post any error message; there is not enough information for us to suggest anything more.

Here is the code with my if statement...

Code: Select all

  if (index(ssn, " ", 1) > 2)
    return 'N';

and here is the error I am getting... Please let me know what I am missing.

Code: Select all

You don't need a buildop for this. if you create a stage variable inside a transformer using the following code :

Code: Select all

if (index(ssn, " ", 1) > 2) then 'N' else 'Y'

It should work.

index is a Basic function only available inside a ttransformer. It is not a c function

Is there a way to do this inside the C code buildop? We would have to modify a lot of jobs if we do it with a transform and we would like to do this with the buildop.

[ray.wurlod]

No. As I mentioned earlier, the Index() function I mentioned is used in a Transformer stage - to do what you're trying to write a routine to do.

Hi,

1)You can find the occurrence of sub string in string using offsetOfSubstring() function, It is a APT_STRING function.
2)If sub string is found then find the index of sub string using occurrences() function,it is also a APT_STRING function.[/i]
