You need to use standard function available in graphical mapping e.g.

1. if (you will find this under Boolean function )

2. equalS (you will find this under text function )

3. Not (you will find this under Boolean function )

4. Constant (you will find this under Constants function )

Now use above mentioned functions like this.

posid --> equalS (map "Empty Costant" in the second input box of equals function) -

---

> Not -

---

> if -

---

> target. ( else map constant value).

Hi Brunda

just do the below mapping:

                    Constant[default value]
                           |
Source field---equals-----if-----Target field
                 |         | 
Constant[]-------|       Source field
 (null)

Brunda,

No need for If then else, exists function and all. Simply do the below logic.

posid ---->MapWithDefault[]----->posid

Whatever constant u want,just fill it in MapWithDefault function.

hi ,

I have used map default . but still it not passing default value to target .

posid->mapwith default-> posid

mapwith default i passed constant value .

Hi,

Do like this..

Ur source input..postid mappit to funtion EXIST...so it is there then in IFTHEN ELSE funtion pass the Postid in then option........if it doesnt then ........pass the Constant to the else part......it it clear..

posit>exist>if and in then part mapp posid-->then in else part map constant-->else and pass the out put of if then else will pass to target side..

iif it is not clear update the thread...

thanks for reply,

exits fucntion check always check for node exitsence.

since i am using idoc as source the node posid always exits .

I want check if node contains any value in it . if does not conatain any value then i need to pass constant value in it.

eg idoc source node is always

<posid/> if no value .
