Hi,

I have written a c++ routine and i added it as a parallel routine to the datastage palette under the category routines. When i try to load the routine for a particular operation in the transformer stage, i am not able to see the routine in the list.....but iam able to see all the previous routines in the drop down list. i have given the path of the object file correctly in the newly created parallel routine. Can someone tell me the reason why iam not able to see this particular routine?

Thanks in advance.

Does your transformer compile if you enter the name of the parallel routine into your transformer derivation manually? If not, what error message do you receive?

John.

it is accepting if i enter the routine manually ( i mean it is able to link the input column)......but still it is in red color and when i validate the derivation...it says , it does not have enough arguments.

my routine looks like char convert(char *instr, char *outstr).

instr is the input value from the input file and outstr is the stagevariable that i use in the transformer.

Since "convert" is already a function, perhaps choosing another name might help.

Thanks....that was a silly mistake from myside. i have changed the function name and it is showing up in the transformer...however the job is not compiling . what could be the reason?

i am getting all this when i press the more button:

Output from transformer compilation follows:
