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?
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.

All generalizations are false, including this one - Mark Twain.
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).
