File content conversion without field separator

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

in my scenario I'm sending a txt file to an external receiver.

Each field of the file must be separated from the others with differents field separators according with the requirement of the receiver, for example:

field1;field2:field3, field4; ecc....

For this reason I've created in the source message many "FieldSeparator" fields. These fields will be populated by ABAP program.

I thought that it was possible to omit parameter fieldSeparator in content conversion, but testing the interface I receive an error because fieldSeparator is missing.

Is possible to omit fieldSeparator or to specify a fieldSeparator null?

The fields in the target file must be of variable lenght, so I cannot use FieldFixedLenght.

The only solution I found is to create in the target message structure a single string with each field concatenated, is the only possible solution?

Thanks

Sorry...posting error earlier..

The seperator can be concatenated at the end of each field in mapping.So seperator will be part of field value.

But with receiver FCC, you need to either mentione fieldfixedlenght or fieldseperator.Please check if space is going to to work for you as separator.
