You can use them in a BASIC Transformer from what I understand, said the Server guy. :wink:

There are two types of Transformer stage in parallel jobs, if you have a sufficiently recent version. One is called the Transformer stage; this one can NOT use BASIC functions such as Iconv() and Oconv(). The other is called the BASIC Transformer stage, which gives you access to the full range of DataStage BASIC expression elements, at the cost of being an additional component to load when the job runs.

On a "normal" installation of PX, you should be able to find it under "Stage Types - Parallel - Processing".
