Vendor wants a name's suffix to be one character. i.e. JR or JR. becomes J, I is 1, II is 2 etc. I thought of creating a table to do the conversion but because of file sizes (over 600,000 records) it is not very practical. So I looked at the set variable task to see if it would but can't see how do it. Can anybody help.

The only way for GoAnywhere Director to change one (or more) columns in a rowset, would be to process the file one row at a time. This would not be a speedy process.

If you are retrieving your dataset from a database (ie, DB2, MSSQL, etc) and are using an SQL Function to retrieve that data, you can do the following:
-Rick
Code: Select all
This assumes that the Suffix is a separate field value.<setVariable label="Set sqlError" name="sqlError" value="0" version="1.0" />
<sql label="Connect to Server" resourceId="${ Server }" version="1.0" onError="setVariable:sqlError=1">
<query label="Get Doc Recs" outputVariable="DocRecs" whenNoDataFound="error">
<statement>
Select FirstName, LastName,
Case When upper( Suffix ) like 'JR%' Then 'J'
When upper( Suffix ) like 'I' Then '1'
When upper( Suffix ) like 'II' Then '2'
When upper( Suffix ) like 'SR%' Then 'S'
Else ' '
End as Suffix,
Address1, Address2, City, State, Zip, Phone
From MyLib.MyFile
Where MyField = 'MyValue'
</statement>
</query>
</sql>
