ODI: Use of Java BeanShell in Knowlegde Module

Question

Hello,
I have an array defined pkCols in earlier steps of my IKM. It has assigned 4 values ('A', 'B','C','D').
I would like to parse all values into one string so I could save them during INSERT INTO ... SELECT statement.
Basically I would like to get a string 'A_B_C_D_' from my pkCols array.
So - I have created a step within SQL technology that looks like this:
INSERT INTO audit_table (...)
SELECT
col1, col2, col3,
'<@ for (i=0; i<pkCols.size(); i++); { @><@=pkCols.get(i)@>_<@ } @>*'* as col4, col5
FROM other_audited_table;
It works, but when I look into audit_table in col4 i see exacly the string:
<@ for (i=0; i<pkCols.size(); i++); { @><@=pkCols.get(i)@>_<@ } @>
and not string that I am expecting (A_B_C_D_)
What should I do to make it work and what mechanism I am not aware of ?
regards,
J.

Hi,
side and saving this work in
a flat file (java property file/xml file) at the
server side.
Could n e 1 suggest me that saving flat file at the
server side would work,
coz this file would share by multiple clients.And how
locking facility j2e gives whilesomebody is modifing
one file.Does "server side" mean EJBs? Is so, from the EJB 2.1 specs document, section 25.1.2 :
"An enterprise bean must not use the java.io package to attempt to access files and directories in the file system.
The file system APIs are not well-suited for business components to access data. Business components should use a resource manager API, such as JDBC, to store data."
Just make sure you use a resource manager to access files.
