Extra Newline on File Receiver Output

[Former Member]

I have an R/3 RFC -> XI -> File scenario. Everything is working fine except that my output file has an extra line feed on the end of it. I assume it has something to do with the fieldSeparator value. I cannot use fieldFixedLengths because my field can vary.

Is there a way to set fieldSeparator to "nothing"? Is there a way to turn off the endSeparator? I have tried a few different Content Conversion parameters but nothing is working.

Here are some details:

RECEIVER DATA TYPE (integration repository):

complus_receiver_dataType complex type

cp element

myrequest element

myheader element (optional)

RECEIVER COMM CHANNEL:

File Content Conversion is the Message Protocol

Recordset Structure - cp

cp.fieldSeparators - 'nl'

I just remove the extra newline in the receiving system.

Keith,

Know your problem is solved..but did you try putting..

endSeparator as ´0´

This is the xml Response payload that gets sent to my RECEIVER CHANNEL. You do not see it, but there is a newline character in the middle of the data (before 00010007847705251) and another at the end (after BREAKER 1 POLE 4). When I write out the file I don't want to add yet another line feed or character to the end.

My channel parameters are just:

cp.fieldSeparator 'nl'

cp.endSeparator '0x20'

Hi Keith,

you are getting the extra space in your data because of the value you are giving in the parameter <i>'endSeparator'</i>, i.e. '0x20' or a <i>space</i>.

Don't use the endSeparator parameter and make the following changes in the parameters:

<b>cp.fieldSeparator '0x20'</b>

Please make these changes, activate your object and test the scenario.

I hope if it helps you'll give me points )

With this recommendation I still have two newline characters at the end of the file. The default endSeparator is newline, so that is what you get when you don't put anything.

I guess I have to just figure out how to get the newline character out of my data since XI forces you to have an endSeparator.

Thanks, but these leave a space at the end of my file. The problem is that the data I receive already ends with a newline. I don't want an endSeparator at all.

Hi Keith,

Can you please elaborate by listing down the parameters that you are giving in Content Conversion Parameters tab, also with the help of some Sample data.

Thanks & regards,

H Keith,

You could also try with the hexcode for space ie '0x20' as the field separator.

Hi Keith,

Keep your fieldSeparator value as a <i>'space'</i>.

For eg:

cp.fieldSeparator: //give a space here

I hope it helps,

Thanks & Regards,
