Please help out in solving.

Thanks in advance,

Use the substring operators to check to see if the first three characters = "INT". For example:

If Link.Column[1,3] = "INT" then this else that

Hi Chulett,

Thanks For the Reply.

But Then part will be performed only if it "INT",Even imay get like INT1,INT2 etc Then this condition will fail.

So i want implement "ORACLE LIKE OPERATOR IN DATASTAGE".

Which is exactly what I gave you does. How will checking the first three characters of "INT1" or "INT2" for "INT" fail?

Hi Chulett,

I want to populate If Input.Column = 'INT%' Then column else 0.hence i want to know how achieve wild card '%' in datastage.

Thanks for your response,

Stop and think about it for a moment. Maybe even try it. The code I gave you does exactly that. And now that I know the this and that:

In Filter stage you can use like operator ...But i dont know how far you can use it in your requirement ..

... or if you're averse to Craig's straightforward solution, or your requirements become more complex, then you could always use <a href="viewtopic.php?t=107882">regular expressions</a>
