Column Generator stage

The Column Generator stage is a Development/Debug stage. It can have a single input link and a single output link.

The Column Generator stage adds columns to incoming data and generates mock data for these columns for each data row processed. The new data set is then output. (See also the Row Generator stage which allows you to generate complete sets of mock data, Row Generator stage.)

The stage editor has three pages:

• Stage Page. This is always present and is used to specify general information about the stage.
• Input Page. This is where you specify details about the input link.
• Output Page. This is where you specify details about the generated data being output from the stage.
