Hi,

How to do mapping for following:

If input element = A then send output as NT or

element = B then send output message as ST or

element = C then send output message as CT

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Use Fixed Values Function from Standard Function

Input field-Fixed Values--Target Field

double click on Fixed values and define your rules for sourece value and target value

Hi,

Input fieldFixedValues-Target field

inside Fixed values, mention your source field values and in target field enter the value that you are expecting

If you are looking at one input that you want to compare against a list of values, I agree that the FixValues function will do the trick. It is like a "CASE" statement or "SWITCH" in other programming languages. It also provides a default value in case no match is made.

Your example looks like

If input element = A then send output as NT or
element = B then send output message as ST or
element = C then send output message as CT

which implies you are testing the same input element against a list of values A, B, C and then outputing corresponding matched value of NT, ST, or CT.

Also, this Wiki article might help you if you decide to go the UDF route:

Hi Anitha,

You are saying your field names are A, B, and C and at a time any one of them will come and based on that you nee to map NT, ST or CT to output field?

Then use the node function exists and check which field is there then you can use if then else

Hi,

use if then else function in Grapphical mapping its very easy.

or write simple udf

pass element as argument

If(Arg1=="a")

{ return NT;

}

if(Arg1="b")

{

return ST;

}

else

retrun CT;

Cheers,

Raj
