Does your source always have 1 row or it can have multiple rows too? In that case how do you want your column names to be populated?

The default block size is 1000 and you can always set it to 1 if you are particular about the sequence and not just the uniqueness of the values.

You can try something like this :- 2) Use a transformer stage and pass on @PARTITIONNUM system variable value to some output column for eg:- Part. Use Round robin partition on the input link. Round Robin may not necessarily used..depends on the data in specific cases and hence aggregation on the @P...

Decimal - NullFieldvalue=0
0 (Zero) might actually be a valid value for a number field.There is no "NULL" in a file and it is empty that actually is populated in a file and hence NullFieldValue='' works fine in common.

Lookup defaults a string output column to 'Empty',numeric to 0(Zero) and date/timestamp to '*****'(not sure of number of stars) if output is not nullable and there is not match on the keys.

Where are you writing this derivation? What is the datatype of the field/variable where you are writing this expression?
