Fixed length format and variable records length

[Ephemeris Lappis]

Hello.

We use beanio for reading fixed length formatted files. We need to add new optional fields at the end of some records, but with the requirement to be able to read old files with shorter lines. New optional fields have a minOccurs set to 0, but it seems that beanio fails in this case, expecting the records lines to have more characters.

Is there any way to take this case into account ?

Thanks for your help.

Regards.
