Hi,

Can any one help me. I have a stage variable totalpriceval. In properties of stagevariable I mentioned precision as varchar 255 . Iam getting frm source flat file price as char[15] to stage variable . Ex

variable expression
totalprcval If frm_src.recindicator='2' then totalprcval+As integer (frm_src.price) else totalprcval.

I gave in stage variable proprerties
name initalvalue

totalprcval 0 varchar 255

In output Iam getting as 2.72922e+11. I want output as 272922234556 as integer with out exponential . What I have to do to achieve integer value.

Thanks,

Why don't you use a real integer variable? You could convert your string input field to an integer by using the StringToDecimal function.

Hi Mathieu,

Please correct me if I understood your reply wrong. I have to give in stage variable properties totalprcval precision as int 64 and in expression of stage variable in place of As integer I have to give string to decimal function.

Hi,
What I am saying is if you input is something like '27292223455' (Varchar(15)), then you could define your variables as BigInt and convert it to a number by using the DecimalToString function...

Is this what you try to do? or if your input have the 2.72922e+11 format as well?
