Hi,
My Schema has the following records
Rec1
Rec2
Rec3
NTE
Where Rec2 and Rec3 are the child records of Rec1 and NTE is a independent record.
I assigned floationg record property to NTE.
When I test my input document using convertToValues service ,with the input document has the following structure:
Rec1
NTE
Rec2
Rec3
ConvertToValues service is throwing an error stating that Invalid record Rec1
and Rec2.
Since NTE is a floating record, the service should run fine..Also I found that in the schema in floating Record row it is not taking NTE record and it is showing 'TBD'.So what does 'TBD' mean??

Thanks&Regards

Hi,

Can you please explain in more detail, how does your Flat file look ? What do you mean by NTE ?

As per my understanding TBD means 'To be determined' .

I assume this is your flat file:

[b]Address*street+city;
NTE;[/b]

Where Address is your Record 1, street and city are your subfields/composite which you call them as child records of Record1 and NTE is your record 2.
* is field seperator/delimiter
+ is subfield seperator/delimiter
; is Record seperator/delimiter

Please share screenshots/images to understand your flat file structure better.

Thanks

Hi,
My schema has ';' as delimiter and NTE is the name of the record.
FlatFileSchema
Rec1
NTE [] Max Occurs 99
Rec2
Rec3
Rec4
Rec5

InputEDIDoc
Rec1
Rec2
Rec3
Rec4
NTE (1)
NTE (2)
NTE (3)
Rec5
ConvertToValues is throwing an error if NTE record got its position changed.

Thanks

Hi Anuarthi,

Can you please give me your source file, i don't need your Schema or SchemaDT.

If you have a flat file as your source, can you please provide it to me, so i can analyze what you are achieving to do ?

Thanks

Hi,
Due to some reasons.,it is not possible to get the snapshots.But still the same example is present in FlatFileSchemaGuide under floatingRecords topic.
