How will u remove header record? How will u remove tailer record?..

Answer / aditya kundu

The simplest way to remove header and trailer records is to
use a dedup sorted component using a NULL key. This would
treat the entire record set as a single group. Then use
keep_first and keep_last mode of dedup sorted to select the
header and trailer records.

Another way to accomplish similar result set is using a
ROLLUP component on NULL key. Use the first and last
functions in rollup to select the header and trailer
records.

Answer / dhirendra

There can be many ways to remove header & trailer record
depending on the data you are receiving. If you have a
particular signature for header & Trailer record you can
use Filter by Expression or Partition By Expression
Component to remove the header & Trailer record. If you
don't have signature for your header & Trailer record then
you have to use reformat component to select only the data
record.

Answer / anonymouns

if there is a indicator field to differentiate header and
trailer we can use partition by expression component to
remove header and trailer or else use a run program
component to separate out header and trailer and use a join
component to join on all the fields ignore the matching
records, the records coming out of unused ports will be
only body records.
