There is no easy alternate for the Parallel Transformer stage.
You could build a list of all non-printing characters (using Char() functions) in the initialization expression of a stage variable and a corresponding list of that many dots in the initialization expression of another stage variable, and use the Convert() function with these stage variables as the first two arguments.

Any contribution to this forum is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect any position that IBM may hold.
I faced problems with timestamp with microsecond when passing through a basic transformer, it was in version 8.0 and cant remember what I did to get through it.
However, what is the point in using a basic transformer if it can be done using double convert easily.
