Mmmm - at first guess I'd suggest a NullAttributeReplacer to replace FETYPE with @@@ (for example) where it is null. Put this before the Concatenator. Then, after the Concatenator, use an AttributeTrimmer to trim off any @@@
But $DDT_AUDIT_GENERATED_(564F) is a little concerning - is this what the Concatenator created? I tried it using a feature w/o the second concatenating attribute and it worked OK. I'm using 2006-GB beta build 2629. If you can upgrade then I suggest you do so. See www.safe.com/download - unfortunately I've just changed computers and don't have 2005 installed to try it with that version. Mark Mark Ireland, Product Support Engineer Safe Software Inc.
