Validation Error

[Former Member]

Hi,

We are getting a validation error IDOC_ERROR_PARSE_FAILURE: READING_FIELD_VALUE_TAG while converting an IDoc XML to Flat file using standard adapter module SAP_XI_IDOC/IDOCXmlToFlatConvertor. This error is due to a field that is having character value.If we replace it with a numeric value it works fine.

However, when I am verifying the IDoc metadata this field is of character type. Still the module gives a validation error.

Is there any workaround to overcome this error.

Regards

Pravesh

If you dont use standard idoc then you might consider customize that field by converting char to integer and use it. Idoc editing is possible with standard editors like XMLSPY or so. Otherwise consider converting the char value to integer using UDF in the mapping.
