Blank field from EDI-XML instance

[Former Member]

Hi Folks,

I have this scenario where a blank field in EDI-XML instance is not shown in an EDI target field.

[EDI-XML]

S_N1

--

D_01 -> test01

D_02 ->

D_03 ->

[EDI]

N1+test01'

Desired output should be:

N1test01+'

Is it always the case that if the last node is blank, that field is not reflected in the target field (like having a blank field with a + sign)?

Any advise please?

Thanks a ton!

Regards,

Lex

As far as I know, In the XML format the space is not represented. The variable which has space as value is represented as <var></var> or <var/>. But you write the same XML file to a flat file then you will find the spaces on the file.

Also try making the target field as Char instead of String or try to insert spaces in the Mapping itself..See how it goes

Hi,

If you are looking your result in Moni then you can not see the spaces. But If you are using FCC then see the text file there you can see the correct results.
