Hi,
I am modeling a pipe delimited text using DFDL. I am able to handle blank records in the middle of the file, but throwing error when there are blank lines at the end of file.
CTDP3108E: When parsing, the IBM DFDL processor does not support an empty or missing element with a default value.
ParsedDataRegion[SimpleContent, startOffset = 336, length = 13, scd = #xscd(/schemaElement::Employee/type::0/model::sequence/schemaElement::body/type::0/model::sequence/schemaElement::telephone)]
and in DFTL Test trace
Mar 19, 2015, 12:10:36 PM fatal: CTDP3108E: When parsing, the IBM DFDL processor does not support an empty or missing element with a default value.

Have you set documentFinalTerminatorCanBeMissing="yes" in the format block?
Have you taken a DFDL Trace?

| documentFinalTerminatorCanBeMissing will handle only blank lines after header or in the middle of the data. But is not handling blank lines at the end of file. |

That response is illogical. Please
- read what the DFDL specification says about documentFinalTerminatorCanBeMissing
- explain your last response in terms of the DFDL specification
Alternatively, provide some detailed information on how and where the failure happens. That will probably mean that you need to read the DFDL Trace and quote the relevant part(s) in your next post.

as per your guidance gone thru DFDl config in details and common errors... and i did the same common error
I was doing a mistake of keeping terminator "%CR;%LF;%WSP*;" sequence element before header instead keeping at header level. |

Correct. documentFinalTerminatorCanBeMissing only applies to terminator, not to separator. Switching to terminator will handle what you are seeing.
Alternatively, if you prefer to use a separator, and there is always an extra separator at the end of the last record, then you can set separatorPosition 'postfix'. |
