  • 1.  Use a functional map as an input to another map

    Hi,Can anyone help me on this please. I have a functional map which generates an output field "enid" whose value may be 1,2,3 and so on depending on those many inputs. For e.g if there are 3 custids like cust1,cust2,cust3 THEN the map generates three enids as 1,2 and 3. custid field is a String whereas enid is a number. So basically cust1 maps to enid=1,cust2 maps to enid=2 and so on. In the next functional map say fmap2, i want to use this mapping because the input for this map would be any of the custid say cust2 and this should output enid=2 which was generated by the above map. Would appreciate any help on this.

    So both functional maps should map a custid to an enid? Why don't you use the same functional map then?

    Thanks @thorstenhirsch for replying. My question was "can we use a functional map as an input to the other functional map". May be I wasnt clear enough. So to elaborate,Can we use the output of one functional map as an input to another functional map? And I got the ans. Its Yes. All we need to do is copy the output field and paste it in our rule where we have to use it. Anyways Thanks a lot for replying.

    Muk, this can be one way.

    However, you can also use a functional map within a functional map. The inner functional map executes first and its output can be an argument to the outer functional map.

    Ex: F_Map1(A,B,F_Map2(a,b))
