Switch/Case

How do we implement Switch/Case statement in transformer?

nested if-then-else

Thanks priya...
but it means thr is no direct implementation of switch/case available in transformer?

I don't think you have direct implimentation for that, but you can use stage variables to keep the derivation simple if using If-then-else.

You can also send data to different links based on constraint in case with calculation/values defined in 'Then' and then funnel then afterwards.

AFAIK, switch/case has no equivalent in DS, other than the way priya suggested.

There is no direct implementation. If you feel you really must have this, embed it in a routine and invoke that from the Transformer stage.

Seems like overkill to me. Most situations can be accomplished using sets of stage variables, as suggested.

Not sure what you're attempting to accomplish, but there IS a Switch stage that you may wish to investigate.

Thanks to all of you.

Ray,

Though I couldn't read your previous messae completely as some content was hidden but thanks for the great help you have been giving me on my posts.

I doubt that you missed much of it, but I've removed the Premium status anyway.

Don't think he meant that one.
