Empty tags not visible in IDOC

[balaji_pichaimuthu]

Hi,

this is file to idoc interface. When generated target IDOC XML has empty value the actual idoc in R/3 system doesnt have those fields. Even the tag is created in IDOC XML not reflecting in received idoc. The target tag look will look like below are not visible in idoc in R/3 side.

<ZPCODE1 />

<ZPCODE2 />

<ZPCODE3 />

<ZPCODE4 />

<ZPCODE5 />

What would be the problem?

With Regards

Hi Balaji.

What's problem that this fields/tags doesn't appear? If they don't have values, no problems.

To do this fields appear, you have to define in the Datatype its occurrence equal 1.

There is a difference between an actual IDoc and the representation in WE02.

The field is not missing, it will just not be displayed when there is no value in it.

Hi,

one way around is,first of all make the Tag in the IDOC as mandatory(i.e. it should show in red color).after that map it with a constant (and that constant is space).

since it has been made mandatory,it will show on the receiver side as an empty tag

Let us know if this works out!

Are you checking this in WE02/WE05 on the R/3 side ? Please be reminded that fields with empty values won't show up in these transactions.
