[Former Member]

Hi

in my Idoc to file ..

i want to get Segment Numbers and parent Segment numbers

SourceMT	           TargetMT
SegmentA	            SegmentA
  SegmentB	  SegmentB
  SegmentC	  SegmentC
    SegmentD	    SegmentD	
    SegmentE	    SegmentE
  SegmentF	  SegmentF

SegmentA is parent for SegmentB,C,F
SegmentC is parent for SegmentD,E
Segment numbering start from 1,2,3,..
SegmentA number is 1,SegmentB number is 2,..,SegmentF number is 6..we have total 6 segments

in every structure lookis like 
SegmentXXX
  segmnentnum
  parentsegnum
  .
  .

Total numeber of segments varies on Idocs..one IDoc may contain 6 Segments ,another may contain 24 segments..

i want to get SegmentNumber and ParentSegment number for each Idoc..

eg:for SegmentE -->Segment Numeber is 5 (count starts from top)
                   parent Segmentnumber os 3 ( SegmentC is parent for SegmentE and 3 is the SegmentNumber for SegmentC)

Ram,

Create a File port in WE21 and assign this port to your IDoc in WE20. When the Idoc is triggered the corresponding IDoc is converted into IDoc Flat file with fixed lengths. Then you can read this fixed length Idoc and can convert into Idoc XML. or Check the section 3.2 which converts your flat file idoc into Idoc XML. This should solve your issue.

Hi,

count is a standard function , map to segment if the sengment is sender side then you will get the count of that segment.. do similarly..
