[Servingxml-help] Urgent Query - Mandatory/optional field | conditions for flat file

[\Mohit G. | D. S. Ltd.\ <moh...@da...>]

Hi,

I am using ServingXML to convert some flat file data to XML format. It =
is a very nice tool.

I seek some urgent help for a few points, whether these are achievable =
using ServingXML or not? Points are:=20

  1.. Can we declare any field as mandatory or optional in flat file =
structure?
  2.. Can we specify condition for any field like=20
    1.. 3rd field in a record should exist only if value of 2nd field is =
'male'.
    2.. I.e. condition in a single record, where existence of one field =
is dependent on some value in any previous field in same record.
  3.. While parsing flat file, tool is not ignoring the record =
delimiters and so new line character is also coming into fixed width =
counting. What can be the solution for this?
  4.. PadCharacter, and justify attributes are not working while =
converting flat file to xml. Is there any solution? In code, =
LineFormatter is only working with PositionalFieldWriter.
Solution for these points is very important for our project. Please help =
urgently.

Regards,
