Why?
What kind of "binary"? After all, every decimal number is already in a binary form within DataStage.
Do you need some form of "packed decimal", or perhaps binary coded decimal representation?
I guess the easiest way is to write via a Complex Flat File stage.

None of which I am aware in parallel Transformer stage. You could readily write your own. You could use Oconv() with "MB" in a BASIC Transformer stage.

Hi Raj,
If you can pass business logic so that I can help you out.
as per your example: INput is 10 and Output is 1010
Does it mean what ever input is there you just need to concatinate the same value again to the input value , If you can explain it clearly I can help you out.

"1010" is the
binary representation of a decimal 10... 8+2... not two 10s stuck together.

More specifically:
1*8 + 0*4 + 1*2 + 0*1
