String to Decimal conversion

Hi All,

I am trying to convert string to decimal using transformer stage.

The StringToDecimal() function says to give Rtype as second argument. What is this and how how do we define this?

Please help!!

As I am new to DataStage unable to understand the lingo.

-Thanks!!
Raj

'Return Type'. Search the Parallel Job Developer's Guide for that word and you'll find the valid values listed. It's on page 638 in mine, YMMV.
