# Result rows tab

![Result rows tab](/files/s3sX1PPxxbPXWbbdHfoQ)

In this tab, you can specify the destination of the result rows from the transformation execution as well as the layout of the expected result rows.

This step will verify that the data type of the result row fields are identical to what is specified. If there is a difference, an error message will display.

**Note:** When you want to send the results from the child transformation back to the parent transformation as the output from the Transformation Executor step, you must enter information in the layout table in the **Result rows** tab. The layout information is required and the table cannot be left blank when running the step on Spark in AEL.

| Option                          | Description                                                                                    |
| ------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Target step for result rows** | Use the drop-down menu to select a step in the current transformation as the target step.      |
| **Field name**                  | Specify the name of the field.                                                                 |
| **Data type**                   | Use the drop-down menu to specify the data type of the field, such as number, date, or string. |
| **Length**                      | If applicable, specify the length of the data type specified.                                  |
| **Precision**                   | If applicable, specify the precision to use.                                                   |

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.pentaho.com/pdia-data-integration/9.3-data-integration/pdi-transformation-steps-reference-overview/transformation-executor/options-transformation-executor/result-rows-tab.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
