idoc to file mapping complexity.

[Former Member]

I have a idoc to file to scenario.

Where i have a field called FLAG in the IDOC where i get value Y. It's in the middle of the segments in IDOC.

For eg:

IDOC

segment

EDI_DC40

field1

field2

Segment2

field1

field2

FLAG

segment3

etc...

Now at the reciver side i have created a segment called Segment 10 .Here when ever we get a value from the field FLAG as Y.This segment10 should come twice.Fo convinience,I created 2 segments at receiver.

segment10first,segment10second.

Receiver structure would like

File

recordset

segment10first

segment10second (both of these segments contain 16 fields. with same fields)

segment30

segment40

My question is

When ever we get the fied FLAG as Y....segment10first should be created....or else it should start with the segment10second.

Please note that either cases segment10second would be created.Only cahnge is segment10first should be created when there is filed FLAG coming Y.

how should I map this segment based on condition....

i just put as

FLAG-->exists-->segment10first.

Am i right

Hi Harsha,

just check this out:

If(Flag==constant(y)) then Segment10first map with some constant then it will definitely appear according to your condition.

no.Its not workig

Hi Harsha,

Why do you need to create 2 different segments anyway. Create onle 1 segment10 and make it as 0...unbounded. Now in mapping duplicate the segment twice and for the 1st segment provide the condition as follows, for the 1st segment:

segment10-->createIf (FLAG == Y)

2nd segment you can map with a constant.

Hi,

You can check the value of flag using if function, suppose if the value of flag is 'y' then create node using createif function(which creates the segment10 only if the value of flag is 'y').

FLAG --> if(check the value of flag,It reaturns true if the value of flag is 'y') --> Createif(Creates the node in target if the input value is true) --> Segment10First.

I hope this will help you.
