#12 Conversion from Flat File to XML - some values in wrong fields...

[Brian Arthern]

Hi
I took a flat file of an ORDERS D.01B message and converted it to XML.

The majority of value appear in the correct fields as far as I can determine. there are two in the attached XML that are not (they are repeats of the same segment, so bug is the same).

<s_imd>
<d_7077>F</d_7077>
<c_c273>
<d_3055>PRODUCT 1</d_3055>
</c_c273>
</s_imd>

As far as I can discern, the value PRODUCT1 should be in the field <d_7088>, <d_3055> is actually the "Code list responsible agency code" field and is maxLen 3.</d_3055></d_7088>

Hi
I've done some experimenting and I believe the bug is that the parser is not factoring in that there is actually a field between the + and the :

This is the line - IMD+F++:::PRODUCT 1'

If I add a value between + and : like so

IMD+F++A:::PRODUCT 1'

Then it aligns correctly:

<s_imd>
<d_7077>F</d_7077>
<c_c273>
<d_7009>A</d_7009>
<d_7008>PRODUCT 1</d_7008>
</c_c273>
</s_imd>

Hi Brian,

thanks for your input.

I am very busy these days with project work (my job).

So it might take some time for me to have a look into the problems.

Did you use the downloads? Our did you build from git / maven?

The git/maven stuff is more current (though not completly tested)

Hi Matthias,

Fully understand this is a side-line, not an issue :-)
I did use the latest snapshot, but will download and try using the code. I will let you know if the issue is already resolved in the latest code base.

cheers

Hi Matthias,

I tried running with the latest code-set but encountered the same defect. Just an FYI.

cheers

Hi Brian,

I think it might be fixed.

I have attached the converter in its latest state.

Can you have a look?

Thanks

Matthias

You are the man - it is fixed :-)
