Global Variables |
NB_LINE: the number of rows read by an input component or transferred to an output component. This is an After variable and it returns an integer. NB_LINE_OK: the number of rows matching a given pattern. This is an After variable and it returns an integer. NB_LINE_REJECT: the number of rows not matching a given pattern. This is an After variable and it returns an integer. ERROR_MESSAGE: the error message generated by the component when an error occurs. This is an After variable and it returns a string. This variable functions only if the Die on error check box is cleared, if the component has this check box. A Flow variable functions during the execution of a component while an After variable functions after the execution of the component.

Limitation |
When exporting a Job using tPatternCheck with a user-defined pattern stored in the DQ Repository, you must export the pattern with the Job. Otherwise, the pattern will switch to Built-in mode when importing the Job in another project. When importing a Job using tPatternCheck with a system pattern, the pattern will switch to Built-in mode.
