How to Abort a DS job based on a condition

Hi All,

I have a requirement in my project where I need to abort a DS job based on a condition. ( If field.A not equal to field.B, then Abort the job).

The use of Sequencer is ruled out as I dont want to use one for just one job.

Thanks for your inputs.

Regards,
Freddie.

Transformer to detect condition and send row to a reject link on which you institute a row limit of 1.

Thanks Ray for your quick response.

However, I am given this task & instructed not to use a Transformer stage.

Is there any other way (through any other stage) to do it ?

(FYI Pls. The transformer stage/Sequencer/Routines-Scripts shouldnt be used)

Thanks,
Freddie

If "they" think that it can be done, demand to know how.

Misplaced Transformer fear, I'd wager.

How about using a filter to an abort operator?

Must be really irrational to include sequencers, routines and scripts along with transformers. I've seen odd reasons for restricting other stages as well

Maybe it's an interview question.

I'll bet a small amount that, when "they" are presented with the Wrapped stage possibility, that they exclude that too.

You could always have an operator watch the values go by and pull the power plug when they see a bad value.
