using map’s input and output on the same side

i know this my sound rediculous but still i ask –
can a BTS Map be used for assigning values to a field on the input side (the value calculation has to be based on some other values, again from some other fields from the input schema)

actually i have this scenario where some of the fields in the input schema have to be \”calculated\” fields.
they should have value assignments based on some other field values inthe input side.
these \”calculated\” fields will then be used elsewhere in the map.

is this a feasible scenario??
