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.:
  

   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:
  

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