Hi,

In the message mapping for that field Just do:

<REcords>REMOVE CONTEXT-COUNT---TotalNumberOFrecords

The RECORD is the segment which 0...unbounded and contains all this record

Hi,

There must be segment based on which the RECORDS get created in the file.

Now if you are using N number of segment, you can use any one of this segment node

Just change the context during mapping of this segment to the IDoc.
