In the reformat I want to do a replace on all the fields in one go:
Say for example,

function integer transform() {
$out.0.* = replace($in.0.*,"abcdefg","abc");
return ALL;
}

But when I use the above code it throws error as “Function replace(string,string,string) is not applicable for the arguments (record(TRN_045_ROL_TYPE),string,string)”.

Can you pls help me on this?

Hi,

You can try the following code example, it will let you replace all fields in go:


// Transforms input record into output record.
function integer transform() {
	integer count = 0;
	
	while(count < length($in.0))
	{
	
	setStringValue($out.0.*,count,replace(getStringValue($in.0,count),"abcdefg","abc"));
	count++;
	}
	return ALL;
}

Cheers,

As you see from the error message:

Function replace(string,string,string) is not applicable for the arguments (record(TRN_045_ROL_TYPE),string,string)".

You cannot change all of the fields in one single operation. You will have to step through the fields one by one.

Try:

//#CTL2
// Transforms input record into output record.
integer columncounter;

function integer transform() {
   /* first copy all fields */
   copyByPosition($out.0,$in.0);
/* Then step through the fields */
   for(columncounter = 0; columncounter < length($in.0); columncounter++)
   {
   if (getFieldType($in.0, columncounter) == "string")  
      {
      setStringValue($out.0,columncounter, replace(getStringValue($in.0, columncounter),"abcdef","abc"));
      }
   } // end for next
   return ALL;
}
