Transform operator

The transform operator modifies your input records, or transfers them unchanged, guided by the logic of the transformation expression you supply. You build transformation expressions using the Transformation Language, which is the language that defines expression syntax and provides built-in functions.

By using the Transformation Language with the transform operator, you can:

• Transfer input records to one or more outputs
• Define output fields and assign values to them based on your job logic
• Use local variables and input and output fields to perform arithmetic operations, make function calls, and construct conditional statements
• Control record processing behavior by explicitly calling writerecord dataset_number, droprecord, and rejectrecord as part of a conditional statement
