Can anybody suggest right way.....how to test clone() function....i have to generate 3 same kind of outputs from 1 input file. what should be the mapping details of output card..if i use Clone() method.
I used clone(Input, 3) but it generates only one out put file with 1 line of input.

How many times can the output type occur in your output card?
(i.e. where the =clone(Input, 3) rule is)

if it's just one, then that's why you only get one occurance.

hi Oliver,

Then my output type should be like output(s). If i use Clone (input, 4) at output group level , can i get output which consists of 4 times of input. Am sorry if i confused you. Can you please post one example map which explains clone function.

regards,
Vijji

Are you trying to make 3 output files or clone an element in a single card three times?
