Hi Mr. Ranjan,

ThanX for your immediate response ..

Let me explain my question more elaboratively

I am doing File - XI - File scenario.

In this, suppose i have a Source (one) data type in String and i need to get this data type at Target side should be Char.

Is it possible using XI ..

Hi Ramana,

First: XI is <b>not</b> validating the XSD against the values in the payload! The only thind I see is to make sure, that in the relevant CHAR fields have in deed only CHAR values.

You can do this using a UDF (User defined function) while message mapping.

Mr. Mario,

Don't mine can you give me one example or any link (if you have) related to Conversion of Datatypes in XI (for UDF).

Thanks for your reply..
