Hi
You'd better set the type of this column "String" and type expression in tMap as follow.

row2.Process_Compliance.equals("N-Apl")?"0":row2.Process_Compliance

hi pedro,
thanks for given quick reply...,i understood wht u mean.....but my target table field as bigdecimal always....

Hi
Here is another workaround.
Use tReplace component to replace "N-Apl" with "0".
Then use tMap to convert String to BigDecimal.

new BigDecimal(row.ColumnName)                    //row.ColumnName should be String.
