EDI Question (Count EDI Segements)

[Former Member]

Hi,

I want to map the field D_96 under the EDI Segment SE and I was wandering if how to do that?

The description of the field is: Total number of segments included in transaction set.

So is there a way that I can load the result mapping in a Java function so that I can count the number of segments?

I know that I could add a counter (using user-defined function) for each segment that I'm writing but I was just wandering if there would be an easier way of doing it.

Rgds,

hey... just use the count function in the statistics section of the standard graphical mapping...

in future you should open a new thread and you would probably get more people respond to you

Hi Alexander

I am mapping an IDOC to the EDI format , For that i need to fill in the last segment with the number of segments in the created EDI document. I am not quiet sure how to use COUNT function for this , Coul dyou tell me the schema for using this function please.

Thanks

Hi Yves,

i don't think, that it is possible in a Java function within a message mapping, but you can do it by creating a java mapping from the result of the message mapping to the same structure. Then you can count the nodes and add just the value to D_96.

In your Interface mapping you will just need to add the additional java mapping after your message mapping.

Yves,

The total no of EDI line segments will be present in the SE itself. the second field contains total no of line segments + 2 (ST & SE). Hence just subtract 2 to get the correct no in any EDI.
