Not function in XPath Receiver Determination

[Former Member]

Hi Guys,

Could you please advise on the correct syntax for Not() function in XPath Receiver Determination for PI? I am trying several statements but none of them works:

not(/ZMDPU_ORDERS05/IDOC/E1EDP01[1]/E1EDP19/IDTNR[contains(.,"|")])

/ZMDPU_ORDERS05/IDOC/E1EDP01[1]/E1EDP19/IDTNR[not(contains(.,"|"))]

Please note that the XPath statement part without the Not function, works just fine, i.e.:

/ZMDPU_ORDERS05/IDOC/E1EDP01[1]/E1EDP19/IDTNR[contains(.,"|")]

Hi Evaggelos,

I am using not contains extensively in our pi environment here and it is working perfectly fine as you explained in 2nd example:

/ZMDPU_ORDERS05/IDOC/E1EDP01[1]/E1EDP19/IDTNR[not(contains(.,"|"))]

Can you make sure that multiple occurrence of the IDOC segments is not causing any issue here.

Hi Anurag,

That was the root cause of the problem, i.e. the multiple occurrences check of the Idocs segments which was not required when we explicitly refer to a segment at a specific position. The issue has been solved now. I already assigned reward points

Hello,

Can you try using single-quotes instead of double-quotes? In the example stated here, the contains operation uses single quotes

Hope this helps,

Hi Mark,

Thank you for your reply but that was not the problem.
