Using mapping load - applymap to a table that we used the qualify command.

[#1]

Hi there,

iam loadind data from a .dat file ad because of this the format of the data i get is not the optimum.

i use the text( field) commnad to "normalize" the text data. i want to use a n applymap command to a field like the one i mentioned above. more precicely this is my code:

[Transaction Type Description]:

Mapping  LOAD

//load

Text(Code) as     [Transactions Type],

     Text(Description) as  [Transaction Type Description]

FROM

[$(vExcelDataDir)Transaction Type.xlsx]

(ooxml, embedded labels, table is [Transaction Type]);

it is an excel file that contains values ( 10,11,12,13,14,15 ....99) for the Code field and a string for the Description.

the table i want to apply the map is like this:

Transcactions:

LOAD

   @1:11 as [Transcactions.Name],

     Text(@11:12) as   [Transactions Type],

   applymap ( '[Transaction Type Descriptions]',   @11:12 , '-' ) AS  [Transaction Type Description]

FROM

[$(vLiveDataPath)TEST-TRX-FILE.TXT]

(fix, codepage is 1253, header is 1 lines);

When i run the code i get an empty field for the  [Transaction Type Description] .

Any help would be very appreciated!

Thank you.

what if you put the text function in the applymap as well :

applymap ( '[Transaction Type Descriptions]',   Text(@11:12) , '-' ) AS  [Transaction Type Description]

or maybe do the applymap in a subsequent load above this load.

I've already tried both of your suggestions earlier before posting this but they did not work.  I am trying to find other ways to solve this..

maybe a sample application would help, if possible.

Hi!

You can not use the '[ ]' ...

applymap ('Tipo Transação Descrições', @ 11:12, '-') AS [Descrição Tipo de Transação]

[Tab 1]:

Mapping

LOAD * Inline

[x, y

1, 10

2, 20

3, 30

4, 40

5, 50

];

[Tab 2]:

LOAD ApplyMap('Tab 1', RecNo(), '-') as Y

AutoGenerate(10);

I hope that solves your problem.
