Hi Susanne,

Will that have any impact if the derivation is used in stage variable, but variable is not used in output link derivation or constraint?

yes - in that case you'll still be sending records with null values out the link, which causes the runtime error you are describing.

So, map the stage variable to your derivation for cocpysno...

The column which you are checking for NULL is from any lookup or join? If so, have you defined $APT_STRING_PADCHAR?

What is Metdata for this column in source and target as defined in that transformer.
Make sure that the Source metadata is nullable.
