Web Services Consumer Transformation does not expand xml string in WSDL

Question

I am trying to create a WebService Consumer transformation with a WSDL file which I have imported in Informatica PowerCenter.The WSDL file has complexType xml strings which are not getting expanded while I am importing the WSDL file, thus it’s not showing the input and output fields in the request and response respectively. I have xsd file definition for these xml strings separately and there is no way I can incorporate them with the main WSDL in PowerCenter.  While I looked into the Informatica Documentation I found that in the Developer tool I can create Web Service in Data Services, and incorporate xsd element definition with main WSDL file. But it’s not exactly working in the way its described in the documentation. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello All, I have got a scenario to implement: I have a Character source column which I need to convert to Numeric(18,4) and load into table. My source and target is a Netezza table. If the conversion fails, we do not drop the record, instead insert NULL for those records,i.e. source and target has same number of records. I use an expression as below : DECODE(Input_String, NULL, NULL-- Check for alphabets IIF((UPPER(Input_String) != LOWER(Input_String)), NULL-- Check for special charactersIIF((INSTR(Input_String,',',1) > 0 || INSTR(Input_String,':',1) > 0 || INSTR(Input_String,'@',1) > 0),NULL, TO_DECIMAL(Input_String,4))    )       ) Now my question is, can we use a single INSTR statement and check for all the special characters? I want to avoid writing multiple INSTR statements. Please suggest me how to check multiple characters in a single INSTR statement. Thanks & RegardsBiswajeet.
