How to build such mapping?

Question

Hi XIer,
I am currently working on such mapping requirement as following:
source structure:
<MT_SRC>
  <row> -
1 to unbounded
     <ID>001</ID>
     <Name>Jonathan</Name>
     <Age>27</Age>
     <***>M</***>
     <JobCode>123456</JobCode>
  </row>
  <row>
     <ID>002</ID>
     <Name>James</Name>
     <Age>25</Age>
     <***>M</***>
     <JobCode>127890</JobCode>
  </row>
</MT_SRC>
I need to check field <JobCode>, if it is starting with "123", I need to create 2 entries in the target structure, and put "SAP" and "Programmer" into field <Cate>, else, just put "No Cate" in to field <Cate> as following:
<MT_TAR>
  <row>
    <ID>001</ID>
    <Name>Jonathan</Name>
     <Age>27</Age>
     <***>M</***>
    <Cate>SAP</Cate>
  </row>
  <row>
    <ID>001</ID>
    <Name>Jonathan</Name>
     <Age>27</Age>
     <***>M</***>
    <Cate>Programmer</Cate>
  </row>
  <row>
    <ID>002</ID>
    <Name>James</Name>
     <Age>25</Age>
     <***>M</***>
    <Cate>No Cate</Cate>
  </row>
</MT_TAR>
Could you please let me know how can I do this? thank you for your time

Hi Qi,
This can be achieved using user defined function.
Try this code;
(send sourceEmpid as input)
String empId = new String();
empId = sourceEmpid.substring(0,3);
if(empId == "123")
empId = "SAP";
else
empId = "Employee"
return empId;
You can achieve using even graphical mapping also.
empId -> substring(0,3) | equals(true)
         constant "123" |
direct equals to ifthen block set properties true
if true constant"SAP" -
> result field
else
        constant"Employer"-----> result field
