Direct Pass through scenario-Truncating issue when converting Idoc xml file to flat file

[former_member463616]

Hi Team,

We are using standard adapter module IDOCXmlToFlatConvertor to converting Idoc xml file to flat file by using direct pass through functionality (Idoc to file scenario). It is converting Idoc xml data to flat file data but it is truncating spaces of the last field value for each row in flat file.

We need to keep applicable spaces for last field value as well for each row in target flat file.

Please provide your valuable inputs that would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi rajesh.kumar20

I have just tested it. I used a standard SAP IDoc for this. The last field in this Idoc is a 10-character CHAR field according to the Idoc definition. If this field does not exist in the Idoc XML, 10 spaces are written. As many as the length of the field. If I write only 9 or less characters in the field, missing characters are replaced by a space.

Example: "111111111" (9 characters) becomes "111111111_" in the Flat-Idoc. ("_" means space)

If there are leading spaces in the Idoc-XML, these are also taken over correctly.

Example: "_____11111" (5 spaces followed by 5 characters) remains exactly the same in the Flat-Idoc.

Which Idoc type do you use? What is the data type of the last field in which the spaces are lost?
