Content Conversion without key field value

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I want to do a content conversion which includes a record structure Header,1,Detail,*

I dont have any key field value in the header nor in the detail. Can this be achived using FCC or should i go for Java.

If you specified a variable number of substructures for Recordset Structure, in other words, at least one substructure has the value ‘*’, then the substructures must be identified by the parser from their content. A key field must be set with different constants for the substructures. In this case, you must specify a key field, and the field name must occur in all substructures.

Hey,

Without key field value u can do it using FCC. Just don't provide anything against that field.

see the following links and make an entry according to your structure.

in case you dont have a key field then you cannot read header and detail in the way you want it to be ie Header,1,Detail,*.

A work around wud be to read each line as a single record and then build your target using some logic in the mapping.

Try to read the file as in the below blog and then build your logic in mapping -

Hi,

try this

Header.fieldSeparator->|

Header.endSeparator->'nl'

Header.keyFieldValue->1

Header.keyFieldlnStructure->ignore

Header.fieldNames->flag,field1,field2,----

Detail.fieldSeparator->|

Detail.endSeparator->'nl'

Detail.fieldNames->flag,Field3,Field4,----

---

DetailRecord.keyFieldValue->2

DetailRecord.keyFieldlnStructure->ignore
