Hi all,
I am reading the flat file and performing the transformation, But in the target table the decimal values are truncating(for example if the source file having the value as "562.025" i am getting the output in the target table as "562. ").

The target table data type is "VARCHAR" and the length is 11.

The target transformation is "FPRINT( RECEIVED_QTY, 'P17.6', 'A11V' )".Where RECEIVED_QTY is the column name.

Can any one suggest any solution, i have to get the decimal values also without truncation.

Thanks in advance.......

What is the format of the source column in the master file?

Hi Dhagen

This is the format for source column in the master file.

FIELDNAME=RECEIVED_QTY, ALIAS=Received_Qty, USAGE=P17.6, ACTUAL=A11V,
TITLE='Received_Qty', $

Hi Kalai,

P17.6 indicates that the total length is 17 positions including the decimal point and the 6 positions after that, so 10 positions before the decimal point.
If the total length is 17, I guess in the FPRINT and ACTUAL you should also use A17.
I do not see either why to make it variable length.

regards, Martin.

Hi Martin

I tried with the transformation "FPRINT( RECEIVED_QTY, 'P17.6', 'A17V' )", but i am getting the exact value from the source in the target transformation.

Could you help, how to get the exact value from the delimiter sorce file.

Thanks in advance...

Change the master

quote:

FIELDNAME=RECEIVED_QTY, ALIAS=Received_Qty, USAGE=A11V, ACTUAL=A11V, TITLE='Received_Qty',$

No transformation required.

Hi Dhagen

This is not working. I can not able to get exact value from the source.

Please help me, how to resolve this.

Thanks

I cannot help if you don't provide a proper description of the problem. My above post says to change the usage and actual to A11. If that is not working, then what is it doing?

If you can, post the complete .mas file and the record. If setting both USAGE and ACTUAL to A11 or A11V doesn't get you the full value, then something is wrong with the data, master or both. You say it is a flat file, then add that it is a "delimiter source file", well, if the master is not right, the data will not be read correctly.

Hi jgelona

I can able to read the successfully in the source file .mas file using synonym, but after the transformation decimal value got truncated. I need exact the value with out any truncation.

In the transformation, i am using below function

FPRINT(COLUMN_NAME,'P17.6',A11V)

whether, i need to increase the target table column size.

Please help me to resolve this issue.

Thanks

We need to see your master file description and maybe a record or two of your data.

What is your source data?

I see that "FPRINT( RECEIVED_QTY, 'P17.6', 'A11V' )" gives this:

562 562.025

. So, it's really not truncationg as truncation would imply that the source is numberic. This, 'A11V' shows that the source is alpha. So, an alpha to numeric translation is required.
