with out using transformerstage

Answer

1)First go to Seq File-->Columns-->Add RowNum column and
2)then go to Properties-->select Options-->select Row Number Column=RowNum (Drop down list select RowNum column)
we will get the sequence Numbers.

first do the link sort for Sal in transformer stage.

and in Transformer stage go to
Constraint: Mod(dslink1.RowNum,2)=0 ---o/p1

and then select otherwise check box or write Mod(dslink1.RowNum,2)=1 --->0/p2

Answer

Job Design:

|----->Agg--->Filter1-->|
| |
| |
file-->cp-------------------->Join---->Filter2---->target

Agg: use aggregator and select Agg_type=count rows and then give the Count O/P column=Count (User defined).

Filter1: give the condition Count<>1

Join: select left outer join

Filter2: give the condition Count<>0

u will get the right output....what ever the duplicate records.

and if u want unique records, give the condition Count=0

plz help me....

Answer

Take 4 field names(field1 field2 field3 field4) in output stage.

use Transformer stage: In Derivation use the below substring

Field1: SourceColumn[1,5]
Field2: SourceColumn[6,10]
Field3: SourceColumn[11,15]
Field4: SourceColumn[16,20] use this one u will get correct o/p.
