How do u set a default value to a column if the column value is NULL?..

Answer / subhash

we can use
NullToValue(Col_Name, Default_Value)
or
NullToempty(Col_Name)functions in tranformaer stage.

Or
If the source is sequential file then, we have an option in
seq file ==> Formats ===> Filed Defaults ==>"Null Field
Value" --> we can set default value for it.

create a job that splits the data in the Jobs.txt file into four output files. You will direct the data to the different output files using constraints. • Job name: JobLevels • Source file: Jobs.txt • Target file 1: LowLevelJobs.txt &#8722; min_lvl between 0 and 25 inclusive. &#8722; Same column types and headings as Jobs.txt. &#8722; Include column names in the first line of the output file. &#8722; Job description column should be preceded by the string “Job Title:” and embedded within square brackets. For example, if the job description is “Designer”, the derived value is: “Job Title: [Designer]”. • Target file 2: MidLevelJobs.txt &#8722; min_lvl between 26 and 100 inclusive. &#8722; Same format and derivations as Target file 1. • Target file 3: HighLevelJobs.txt &#8722; min_lvl between 101 and 500 inclusive. &#8722; Same format and derivations as Target file 1. • Rejects file: JobRejects.txt &#8722; min_lvl is out of range, i.e., below 0 or above 500. &#8722; This file has only two columns: job_id and reject_desc. &#8722; reject_desc is a variable-length text field, maximum length 100. It should contain a string of the form: “Level out of range: <min_lvl>”, where <min_lvl> is the value in the min_lvl field. My Question is how do you write the stage variable for reject rows.
