Hi,

Please tell me how to solve this scenario in datastage ?

Here we have 3 columns in a table TEST

CODE,ENTRY DATE and BATCH

The table looks like

CODE ENTRYDATE BATCH
100 100716 1
100 100716 1
100 100716 1
200 122517 2
200 122517 2
302 555555 8
302 555555 8
302 555555 8

We need to create a seqno on grouping these 3 columns.

The result should be like this.

CODE ENTRYDATE BATCH SEQNO
100 100716 1 1
100 100716 1 2
100 100716 1 3
200 122517 2 1
200 122517 2 2
302 555555 8 1
302 555555 8 2
302 555555 8 3

Hi, Please tell me how to solve this scenario in datastage ? Here we have 3 columns in a table..

Answer / raj

The only solution I can get readily is using stage variables in a transformer. In order to achieve this I need to define 3 stage variables to map them to input columns. Another 3 stage variables to store the previous value. Another 3 variables to compare the values. A total of 9 stage variables are needed.

To reduce the number of stage variables, lets us checksum stage

A checksum stage generates a unique value with the given columns as input.

We supply these three columns as input and generate unique values for each combination and then use that value for comparison in the transformer

Transformer:
Stage Variable:

Checksum -> Sv1
Sv2 -> Sv1
if Sv1=Sv2 then Sv3+1 else 1 -> Sv3

Sv3 -> SEQNO

We get the desired output
