How to find the Alphabetic Records in the column

In order to find the alphabetic records in the column, we have a Alpha Function. 


By using Alpha Function, we can find the number of alphabetic records we have in the required column.

alpha_tabl 


e_id,e_name

22,leana121 
33,lacky11 
44,tom 
55,venu 
66,emy211@ 
77,tiny@ 

Read and Load the data in the Sequential file 


In transformer Stage drag and drop the records to the Output file and create one column as new_names
