whitespace getting suppressed in the xml field

[Former Member]

Hi There,

  Im aware that during runtime the xml can't parse the space in the xml paylod, but can anyone suggest the best option to handle suppressed white space in the inbound xml.

currently xml is from MQ (JMS) -- > PI -- ECC, where in a segmnet has the field as below

<FIELD2>0299                   N         23487   02  00N                                    0.00 </FIELD2>

but I need to maintain the same format till it reaches ECC , as there is a validationg based on this format.

can some one advice on this?

Hi,

You pleaes try to use EXist node function and if then function.

When True send the same field and when false send constant space.
