Answer Posted / srinivas

We can do this with below major steps.

i)First split the data into rows each character as one row this can be done by below function in basic trnsformer

Convert(@TM,@FM,Fmt('aabbccddee', "1T"))

ii)Then next step take four stage variables in next transformer apply below logics

stg1----> Outputcolumn of first transfermer.

stg2----> 1

stge3----> if stg4=stg1 then stg3+1 else stg2

stg4----> stg1

stge5----> stg1:stge3

now we will get the below ansr

o/p column
a1
a2
b1
b2
c1
c2
d1
d2

iii)Then convert the rows into one single column.

Thanks

create a job that splits the data in the Jobs.txt file into four output files. You will direct the data to the different output files using constraints. • Job name: JobLevels • Source file: Jobs.txt • Target file 1: LowLevelJobs.txt − min_lvl between 0 and 25 inclusive. − Same column types and headings as Jobs.txt. − Include column names in the first line of the output file. − Job description column should be preceded by the string “Job Title:” and embedded within square brackets. For example, if the job description is “Designer”, the derived value is: “Job Title: [Designer]”. • Target file 2: MidLevelJobs.txt − min_lvl between 26 and 100 inclusive. − Same format and derivations as Target file 1. • Target file 3: HighLevelJobs.txt − min_lvl between 101 and 500 inclusive. − Same format and derivations as Target file 1. • Rejects file: JobRejects.txt − min_lvl is out of range, i.e., below 0 or above 500. − This file has only two columns: job_id and reject_desc. − reject_desc is a variable-length text field, maximum length 100. It should contain a string of the form: “Level out of range: ”, where is the value in the min_lvl field. My Question is how do you write the stage variable for reject rows.
