Error: Invalid Character Constant

[Anonymous]

What does the error "Invalid Character Constant" mean?
My job holds components:
Input -> AddLocationFrom IP -> tMap -> tLogRow
(with additional inputs to the tMap)
The error popping up during compilation, and is related to tLogRow-component.

Any ideas?

Hi,
Take a look at your source's view job, might help you.

Sorry,
but I'm not following you.
I'm a noob 😉
The source component to tLogRow?
What is a "view job"?

You have the design view and the code view. Just open your job, on the bottom left of it you should see 2 tabs.

Ah!
Yes I know.
But, since I'm not a developer I will have a hard time interpret the code 😕
Any general hints of what to look for?

Do you have a red line?

Hi,
Found it and it helped!
Thanks!
(Now I'm struggling with a Null Pointer exception I get for some of my rows)

Geuder,
What are you doing in your tMap component? Because doing function on columns with null values can give null pointer exceptions.
If that's the case you need to do an if statement like: row1.ColumnName == null ? null : Yourfunction(row1.ColumnName)

That was exactly it!
One input field being a part of several output expressions.
