Need help in doing FDM "Maps" (Not able to do a like mapping)

Question

Hi
sub : Unable to do a like mapping in FDM
I am new to FDM,here is what i am trying to do.
I have a ODBC source table and the table struct is somthing like this.
Accountcode1,Accountcode2,,,,YTD
I have a Custom Import Script where i have done the column mapping as bellow
source >to> Destination
Accountcode1 >> Accounts
Accountcode2 >> ICP
...>>.....
YTD>>Actual values
Destination is HFM
with the above senario here is what i am trying to do.
I am trying to apply the following logic
If Accounts = "1050300" and ICP = "10909001" then the value should go to HFM account1
else if If Accounts = "1050300" and ICP = "10909002" then the value should go to HFM account2
and so on.
the following are the questions i am not clear about while implementing the above logic.
Should i be using the like mapping ??
if yes then what should be in the "Rule Definition" and the "Script"
since the source account values are the same should i be doing this like mapping in the ICP Dimension ??
or is it a "reverse" in mapping ??
any sort of help in getting me resolve this issue will be highly appreciated.

Answer 1

Hi,
there are two ways of solving this, the easy one without scripting is to combine in the import format account and custom1 for your account source. This will give you a longer mapping table but solves it without scripting..
Otherwise you use the like mapping where your target is #script and you use varvalues in your if then else satement.
Just look up varvalues in the FDM admin manual for a detailed description.
