Hi All,

I have to give one condition in transformer. I am using a stage variable to do this.But the job is getting aborted because of that particular condition.I am not able to find out whats wrong in the below condition.

If Trim(Move_Xfm.Make)='Chevrolet' And Trim(Move_Xfm.Model)='Impala' And Trim(Move_Xfm.ModelYear) >='2006' And Trim(Move_Xfm.prfx) [4,2]= 'WS' Then 'E'

Else If (Trim(Move_Xfm.Make)='Chevrolet' Or Trim(Move_Xfm.Make)='GMC') And Trim(Move_Xfm.ModelYear) > '2007' And (Trim(Move_Xfm.prfx) [5,2]= 'C0' Or Trim(Move_Xfm.prfx) [5,2]= 'K0') Then 'E' Else ''

Can anybody help me out.

Thanks

Advise the data types of all the fields mentioned in the expression. Without that we can't really help.

All are VARCHARs

Try a Trim(Variable[from,len]) rather than Trim(Variable)[from,len].

Thank you Sir,

It worked.
Such a small thing and it created a havoc.

Can you explain me what's the difference in writing Trim(Variable[from,len]) and Trim(Variable)[from,len].

Also consider providing initial values to stage variables, will help you...

The obvious difference is where Variable contains leading trimmable characters. The first syntax strips the first len characters (whatever they are) and trims the remainder. The second syntax trims the trimmable characters before performing the substring operation.
