Mapping UDF Question.

[Former Member]

All,

We have the following structure from the input XML... We want to extract the PSTLZ node value into the target structure where PARVW = "WE" - Im trying to use a UDF but - im getting an error because the PSTLZ is an optional node under E1EDKA1 and not all the E1EDKA1 segments have this field. i was trying to UDF to take 2 parameters - PARVW (context at IDOC level) and PSTLZ (context at IDOC level).

Any help would be appreciated...

rkk,

Try this

Parvw[Change Context to IDOC] --->UDF
PSTLZ[Don't Change Context] --->Map With Default[] -->Remove Context---> UDF

If there are no values from PSTLZ what u want to do? According to the above logic, it will give blank value are u ok with it?

rk,

Check for field "PSTLZ " is null before passing to UDF. In case of null / emty replace it with constant value which you can ignore in your UDF.

Let me know if you need more detais.

Hope this will help.
