Hardcoded values in transformer stage

Post by dodda »

Hi All,

Iam analysing one of the job in that i have seen the value for one column hardcoded as '$1'.

Can someone tell me which value it refers to '$1' if we hardcode in transformer.

1$ is not the same as $1 which is what is in the original post and which can mean something other than "one dollar". However, there's no way for anyone else to know without seeing the job and knowing something about the environment it is running it.

Fine. Doesn't really help answer your question however.

Can you not ask this question of whomever wrote the job? Anything in the Long Description that may provide a clue, any Annotation on the canvas? I'm sure I already know the answer to all those questions but they need to be asked, regardless.

I reckon someone may have attempted to use Derivation Substitution and got it wrong.
