Pivot Stage

Hi,

I have seen something strange in pivot stage.
The pivot stage does'nt work if it has any of the columns, either the key or the subsequent columns as decimal, but if converted to bigint it works.
Why is it so.

regards,
varsha

I have encountered this case before, but still don't know the reason.

Concern !!!

What does your support provider say?
Have you provided them with a reproducible test case?

If you report what you think is a bug, your support provider will demand that you prove what you are saying. You usually do this by supplying job designs and, if needed, test data that reliably demonstrate what you are claiming. This is a "reproducible test case".

So which part of "engineering has replicated" (it's a bug), "it will be fixed in a future release" and "will get back to you" is unclear?

Given that it's a known bug, are you really expecting someone here to be able to fix it? No-one here has DataStage source code.

I am not expecting someone here to fix the bug, just want to tell varsha I also encounter this bug.

That's cool. When your support provider tells you when you expect the fix, please share that knowledge with all of us here.
