I need to read a flat file and output the rowset to a new file where the substring(Rowsetvariable,25,1) eq 'M'. Below is the xml for the project. I keep getting errors when debugging and need some direction.

Code: Select all

<project name="TEST_FILE-PARSE" mainModule="Main" version="2.0">

	<module name="Main">

		<createWorkspace version="1.0" />


		<readFlatFile inputFile="resource:smb://mbs2/srobbins/test/1025930_IRXMBS_MBSMBR_20150616_.txt" outputRowSetVariable="rowsetout" version="1.0" />


		<modifyRowSet inputRowSetVariable="${rowsetout}" outputRowSetVariable="newoutput" existingColumns="true" includeRow="${Substring(rowsetout[1], 25, 1) eq &apos;M&apos;}" version="1.0" />


		<writeFixedWidth inputRowSetVariable="${rowsetout}" outputFile="resource:smb://MBS2/srobbins/test/test_SXC.txt" whenFileExists="overwrite" includeHeadings="false" recordDelimiter="CRLF" version="1.0" />


		<deleteWorkspace version="1.0" />

	</module>

</project>

Here is the error log.

Hi Standman,
Noting the version that your project is running, 4.6.1, we added a fix in 4.7.0 for the modify rowset task when no column subelements are added to the task.

Here is a link to the release notes for Director: http://www.goanywhere.com/support/relea ... e-director

and specifically here is the fix that applies to your forum question:

- Fixed an issue with the Modify RowSet task that could occur if using existing column and no Column subelements are added to the task.

Thanks,

Chris
