while using custom functiods when there is no value or a invalid incomming v
alue i do not want to populate the destination attribute. Currently i am doi
ng it this way

Function GetPartnerID( status, partnerID )
if (status = "EA") then
GetPartnerID = partnerID
else
GetPartnerID = ""
end if
End Function

But i want to away wth returning a blank value? When i delete the else part 
and test the mapper i get a xslt error. Is there a way to do this.

Thanks in advance.

After your scripting functoid, use a logical functoid to check the output
value of your scripting functoid and a value mapping functoid; and link the
logical functoid and the value mapping functoids to your destination field.
The destination field will not be created when the logical functoid value
is false.
