Hi,
I am getting input as 64bit data from a DB2 database and I need to convert it into 32bit into the text file. What stage is good to use modify stage or transformer stage or anyhting else is there.
Thanks in advance.

Modify stage, Transformer stage, External Filter stage, Build stage, to name a few.
What will you do if the 64-bit quantity is too large to fit into a 32-bit field? Do you have a plan/design for this? Probably the Transformer stage is best in this case, because you can include IF tests, for example on the input value, in order to decide which conversion and downstream processing stream is the most appropriate for each input row.
