Hi,

Are stage variables reset to initial value as defined in stage variable property after each row is written out or it holds the value from the processing even after the row is written out?


Thanks.

Initial value? No. They are updated for each row processed through the transformer but they only get their initial value once. Hence the name.

Why do you asK?

Here's a link to the documentation page (for IS 8.5) describing the order of execution of a parallel transformer's logic. For pre-8.5 releases, you can ignore the looping example.

Thanks.
So after a row is written out the stage variable is empty or does it hold the earlier value?

Trying to have a better understanding of stage variables so asked.

Hi James

Thanks for the link.

Stage variables are not cleared between rows. When a stage variable is yet to be evaluated for the current row it contains its value from the previous row (or its initial value if the row being processed is row number 1 on its node).

Thanks ray.

No worries, just wanted to make sure there wasn't an actual problem lurking under there.
