Assuming one record = one transaction I suggest to feed the secondary output of your TOLABEL or PICK or similar to a DROP | TAKE LAST which then just delivers the last record before the first match. The DROP would filter the record you injected with the timestamp in question. (Well, I assume also with 'whole transaction' you do not understand 'all transactions'.)
Ciao.....Mike -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: CMSTSO Pipelines Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] Im Auftrag von Glenn Knickerbocker Gesendet: Dienstag, 1. Juli 2014 02:00 An: [email protected] Betreff: saving the last section I skipped I have a file of transactions with the timestamps at the end of each. I want the transactions after a particular time. If the time matches a timestamp in the file, fine, I can start with the next record. If it doesn't, though, once I find the next timestamp, I need the whole transaction that preceded it. I suppose I could just read the whole file backwards, but I'd be happier reading only one transaction at a time. I'm thinking I could use |BUFFER 1| to delay the contents of the transaction until the timestamp arrives, but timing the insertion of my target timestamp gets awfully messy. Anybody have a simpler idea before I dig into that? ¬R ________________________________ CONFIDENTIALITY : This e-mail and any attachments are confidential and may be privileged.
