When binding output interface field "CLAIM_ID" to field "CLAIM_ID": Converting a nullable source to a non-nullable result;
a fatal runtime error could occur; use the modify operator to
specify a value to which the null should be converted.
Hi i have Source comming from dataset having column CLAIM_ID which is NUllable and datatyoe decimal. But while populationg to target dataset . It should be not nullable column.
Please can you help me out in this . In between sorce and target i have a transormation. In transformation i used ISNOTNULL(CLAIM_ID) in constraint part to avoid the null values. but still i get warning message
Use NullToValue() function to provide a value that indicates that the source was null, perhaps -999999.99 (or any value that will never occur in your real data).

Any contribution to this forum is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect any position that IBM may hold.
In Source the column is marked as "Nullable" and in target it is "Not Null" that is why the job is throwing a warning message. I think you need not to worry as long as you have correct values in the above column in source. And if Null is there then apply the logic as told by Ray.
Or if you are very sure that you will not get a null value from the source then mark the column as Not Null in the source itself.

Hi Ray,
Thanks for the reply
Just i have one question where should i use the function NullToValue().

Hi Ray,
I used NullToValue(to_xfm_Map.CLAIM_ID,-9999) finction in transforamation stage at column Derivation Part still i get error ,message as same as below:
"oin_178: When checking operator: When binding output schema variable "leftRec": When binding output interface field "CLAIM_ID" to field "CLAIM_ID": Converting a nullable source to a non-nullable result;
a fatal runtime error could occur; use the modify operator to

What is the nullability of CLAIM_ID on the output of the transformer? It should be non-nullable
Try creating a stage variable to hold the value of CLAIM_ID, using the NullToValue() derivation. Then use the stage variable in the derivation of the non-nullable output column CLAIM_ID.
