Example using passthrough columns

The output mode is Aggregate all rows, which generates one output row unless there is a passthrough column. ZONE is the passthrough column, and the output column CUSTOMER uses the forward slash (/) as the Description property. Here are the input rows.

CUSTOMER	DIVISION	CITY	ZONE
`Acme`	`Toys`	`Boston`	`East`
`Acme`	`Toys`	`New York`	`East`
`Acme`	`Chemical`	`Raleigh`	`East`
`Acme`	`Chemical`	`St. Louis`	`Midwest`

The root filename acme.xml is used because only one output column is involved in the transformation. XML Output generates two output files, acme.xml and acme_1.xml, because the ZONE value changes in the fourth input row. The ZONE values are written on the output link but not to the output files.
