Then the key column you are selecting from in the lookup ( Reference Link) is set to Nullable NO. Please set it to Yes.

How did you determine that the output is blank and not null? Did you write to a File, dataset or table?.. Or the constraint set in a transformer/filter is not working as expected..

If any of your three fields are NULL then your output is going to be NULL, bcause concatenation with NULL will result in a NULL. You will get the same length in the output only if your are concatenating CHAR fields. If you are concatenating varchar type fields then the length might differ. If the ab...

Wouldn't the Stable sort option in the Join stage do the same function?

APT_STRING_PADCHAR - Varchar datatype

Hello, If I set the APT_STRING_PADCHAR=0x20 then it pads spaces to the character and varchar type columns as well. This is causing quite a bit of issue, because I want only the character columns to be padded with spaces. The varchar type columns are long and consume lot of space if padded with space...

Stored Procedure Stage - BigInt issue

Hello,

I am unable use the BigInt column type in the Stored procedure stage and get the right results. Is it a known bug in DS 7.5.1A? The BigInt column always gets set to the maximum 32-bit Integer value 2147483647.

Thanks
