Error in tSampleRow ("The method split(String) is invalid...")

[Anonymous]

In my job, I'm pulling files from a database, and wanting to divide full number of rows by four. I output each quarter of rows to a separate file. Here's my job:






In order to do this, I'm using a tJavaFlex component, which increments a variable by 1 for every value in ColumnA that isn't null, and then places that value in a global variable using globalMap.put(). Here's the code:




What I'm trying to do is call this variable in a tSampleRow component, with the following code:








When I try to run the job, I get the following error:








Am I attempting to do something impossible? If not, what is my mistake? I'm not sure what value in my job has a type of Object. 


Thanks in advance for the help.

Hello,
I am not sure but the error talks about a type "Object", so maybe when you call your globalMap you have to "prefix" it with the return type of the get like that :

(String) globalMap.get("HFScount")

I hope this answer can help you.

tdz,
Thank you for the suggestion. When I make the change you advised, I get the following error message: "Type mismatch: cannot convert from String to String[]".

Oups, sorry for the mistake, I think you have to cast the result of the globalMap in Integer (and not in String) like that :

(Integer) globalMap.get("HFScount")

tdz,
This results in the following error message: "The method split(String) is undefined for the type Integer".

Hello sdvorak,

Could you please show us how and where you use the split method which is mentioned in your first post ?
Thank you.
