I'm trying to pull records from multiple files using directory tool and dynamic input tool.

I want a column that specifies from which file the record came.

Can anyone help.

Required format is shown below.

ID COLUMN
1 file1
2 file1
3 file1
4 file2
5 file3

There a configuration option in the dynamic Input tool where you can select filename as column name.
