Edi to xml using multiple X12 transactions as an input

[Carlos Rodolfo Schrader Garcia Escobar]

Hi im trying to handle Edi(x12 specification)with multiple transactions to Xml conversion, im using loops to solve this situation where i have a purchase Order (850) and a Functional acknowledge(997) in the same file in that order, this is what i have done:

X12 File

this configuration actually works but when i modify the X12 File to have the functional acknowledge (997) first and then the Purchase order ( 850) like this

and using the same configuration with smooks im getting this error

EDI message processing failed [DVD Order][1.0].  Must be a minimum of 1 instances of segment [BEG].  Currently at segment number 4.

is there any way to process many transaction in any order in the same file and parse it to Xml or to Java using smooks ?

[Jeff Bradley]

I would set the ST segment `maxOccurs` attribute to "unbounded" so that it is a segment group. Then, within that segment group, you can set the `minOccurs` attribute of each element to "0". 

Using Smooks version 2 and and XSD, it would look like this contrived example, where the transaction set could contain either B10 or AK1 elements, which themselves contain their respective elements.

Again, sorry for the contrived example and for the XSD. I did what i could with the time I have :)
