Tell me Wt main advantage of Stage varibles? Project level hints?..

Answer / ramjanaki

The main advantage of Stage Variables is to reduce the
repetition of the code for all the required columns in the
Transformer.
Say for Example, if you are having 10 lines of code to
be used for all the derivations of columns in the
transformer, we declare a Stage variable once and we assign
these 10 lines of code to that variable and can place this
Stage variable where ever needed in the derivation of the
columns in the Transformer Stage. Th scope of these
variables is limited with in the stage it is created.

Answer / pavan

The simple meaning of a stage variable is just like a
global variable.During processing the execution starts with
stage variables then contraints and then to individual
columns.If ever there is a prerequsite formulae which can
be used by both contraints and also individual columns then
we can define it in stage varaibles so that it can be
processed once and can be used by multiple records.If ever
we require the formulae to be modified for each and every
row then it is advisable to place in code in record level
than stage variable level

3.It can be used to store the previous rows processed data
which can be used by next coming row.( its one of the
programming tactic )
Also the order of stage variable matters , it will execute
