UPCASE in tMap Error : Type mismatch: cannot convert from String to Boolean in tMap

[Anonymous]

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to use StringHandling.UPCASE() in tmap to convert the first letter in a sentence to Capital. So here is what I tried

First expression

StringHandling.UPCASE(Var.var1)

var1 is..... StringHandling.LEFT(row1.Design,1)

Second expression

StringHandling.UPCASE(StringHandling.LEFT(row1.Design,1))

Third expression

I even tried to upper case all the sentence (to check if it works) using StringHandling.UPCASE(row1.Design)

But in all three cases I get the same error again and again, am not sure what is wrong in my syntex...

Error: Type mismatch: cannot convert from String to Boolean in tMap

Thank you for your help,

Do you have any Column as Boolean in Variable expression or Output Expression  window.

Check there if you are using String instead of Boolean.

Note that : "true"(String) is not equal to true (Boolean)

Also you could use simple expression like

row1.columnname == null ? "" : row1.columnname.substring(0, 1).toUpperCase() + row1.columnname.substring(1)
