Hi
I'm setting up a DFDL mapping as follows:

When I run a Test Parse using this data:

I get:

I suspect I'm not understanding something here. From the trace it looks to me that after finding an empty element in body_elem6 the parser is trying to find a delimited value for element body_elem7 and is finding this to be empty.
What do I need to change for the parser to recognise that body_elem6 is empty (quite legal, because it's an optional element), then parse body_elem7 (mandatory) and then parse body_elem8 (which happens to be populated, although it's an optional element) ? |

optional element does not equate to nillable element. However looking at your input you treat your element 6 as mandatory, nillable and not as optional...

Your data format is CSV, which is a positional format because each field is identified by its position within the record. In a positional format you should set separationSuppressionPolicy to 'trailingEmpty'.
I suggest that you take a look at the actual value for separatorSuppressionPolicy on the inner sequence (by looking in the DFDL editor). |
