Trouble with mapping variables

[jisoo23]

Hello all,

I'm using two mapping variables to keep track of two separate counts during a mapping. The counting part works but here's the problem...according to the workflow admin guide it says that I must use a parameter file in order to reset the variables to 0 each time my session is run. I followed the guide to the letter but the variables don't get reset, they simply keep adding on top of the previous run's result. Here's a similar example to my param file:

[folder_nameine.s_mapping]
$$Total_Row_Count=0
$$Total_Record_Count=0

I double-checked the file pathname in the session and it looks right. Does anyone have an idea what could be wrong?

Thanks,
Jisoo23

Figured out an alternative method instead of using mapping variables. Thanks anyway!

In your workflow or session log does it say that it found the variables or does it say something like "using defaults"?
