I want to pass through Non-Group columns (char and date type) from the Aggregator stage. I can't use join stage to combine columns back.

what conversion code i have to use for Char and Date type to pass the data from Aggregator using Max function.

Or any other suggestion ?

Get your head around the fact that you can use Join stage to join the columns back. If "they" say you can't (that is, aren't allowed to), then fight it out with "them".

It's known as a "fork join" design.

Code: Select all

----> Copy  --------------> Join ---->
       |                     ^
       |                     |
       +---> Aggregator -----+

Premium membership, as I am sure you have already read, is about paying for the hosting and bandwidth costs incurred by DSXchange. Thus I am unwilling to create any precedent of subverting it. I regard DSXchange as a valuable resource. That's why I support it. Unconditionally.
