Problems in Idoc Flat file To Idoc XML conversion

239 Views

Hi All,

We tried converting an Idoc Flat file to Idoc XML in PI 7.11. We referred the below mentioned blog for it

/people/william.li/blog/2009/04/01/how-to-use-user-module-for-conversion-of-idoc-messages-between-flat-and-xml-formats

We were able to convert the standard orders Idoc flat file to Idoc XML. In our requirement the Idoc flat file contained comments in the first line. I'm pasting the first two line of my file below

first line in Idoc flat file

ndeh1 FTP.GODBAC20100517172033.TGOODFELLAS     FTP               2010051800001720100518000018                                                                                #UNKNOWN                                                              godbac20100517172033.txt                                                                                *

second line of Idoc flat file

EDI_DC40  1100000000000000695620 3012  MBGMCR02                                                    MBGMCR                                     MBGMCRWINELKE   LS  GOODFELLAS                                                                                SAPQ10    LS  XXXXXXX                                                                                20100517172033

1. With the comment line(first line) we are facing the below error in the channel

 MP: exception caught with message Invalid length of control segment: 1001

Is there any to make the module to understand that the line is a comments and ignore it?

2. On removing the first line we are facing the below error in the channel

MP: exception caught with message Invalid DOCNUM detected. SEGDOCNUM = 0000000000000000 DOCNUM = 0000000000000695

How to rectify the above error?

Please advice
