Is there a recommendation for generating a trailer record with information for a given file?  
i.e. File contains Header record, Many Detail records and a Trailer record with a total number of Detail records processed.  
thanks

Hello,  
you can use _dict\_put\_str_ ctl function in _finish_ method of your transformation for storing information about number of processed records, eg.:

```auto
 function finished() {
 	dict_put_str('recNo',num2str(counter));
 }

```

where _counter_ is number of processed records.  
In the next phase you can use _dict\_get\_str_ function for reading this info, eg. in DataGenerator component:

```auto
function generate() {
	$0.info := 'Summary';
	$0.recNo := dict_get_str('recNo');
}

```
