Concatenation not working

Anonymous — Thu, 30 Apr 2015 21:42:01 GMT

I am having difficulties with the script below as it is not concatenating any fields … I’m sure I have missed something obvious but I’m completely lost … any help would be greatly appreciated. I did a search and have tried adding where 1=1 on the end but that didn't produce any change.

Concatenate (Subleases)

LOAD

#PML_COUNTER_2 as #Sublease_COUNTER_2,

Hi Bella

where is your first table?

we would have to see the other part of the script to identify if there is any error, though at a quick glance I do not see any problem with it

are the columns being added into that table, but with a null value

The first table loads fine, I have added the code below. There is no null values the renamed fields match the existing field names in the original table.

I really don't see any error without the exception of you concatenation missing a field for the last ","

"Contact_Phone as [Sublease Tenant Phone] ,

missing field

Resident Leases where LFlag=1;

what I normally do in these cases is add an extra field that does not match with the first table, so I can identify what came from where, in this cases I added 'Leases' as Source to the bottom table, I also noticed the left joins you were doing to create the counters, I suggest you create them in you first load instead of doing left joins, this way you can avoid processing overhead and some nasty join issues (I had plenty already)

Thanks for having a look ... the last ',' is simply cos I removed a couple of lines to post it here. I'm not concerned about the counters they work fine in all of the data models I use, I will try the test field idea but as the table has 100 records before and after I run the script I am working on the assumption that it is not concatenating at all.

Re: Concatenation not working

ramoncova06 — Thu, 30 Apr 2015 22:35:06 GMT

I did assume that the ',' was not an issue otherwise you would have gotten an error which but just wanted to be sure

have you tried not concatenating and applying a qualify to your second table to see if you are actually pulling any data at all ?

the issue might be with the where and not with the concatenation

Re: Concatenation not working

Anonymous — Thu, 30 Apr 2015 22:39:56 GMT

I have checked the data is there and I am currently trying an option with a temp table to pull the data out and change the fields names before concatenating but no I haven't tied the qualify option.
