Hi

Previously my source( oracle) query was


SELECT * FROM <TABLE> where <COLUMN> A in #PARAMETER#

#PARAMETER# is from my parameterset.

Now my source has been changed to sequence file

I want to filter this some where in datastage job either in transformer stage or any other stage.

can you please help me.

There's always the Index() function.

yeah but in the parameter we donot know how many number and of values are there and also I want to know how we can do the looping for all the set of values .

And also if I have the input as 1 and the parameter contains 12,11,21 then the index doesnt work

No "looping" required nor does the size of the list matter. The "trick" to preventing substring matches has been posted here many times: include the delimiter in the search. So, search for ",1," rather than "1". Which also means you'll need to wrap your parameter value in an extra set of delimiters so you can get a proper match on the end values.
