EDIFACT Syntax 3/4 repeat separator - UNA not working?

[Mateusz Janiak]

Dear Smooks Users,

I am trying to parse an INSDES D98A EDIFACT message using Smooks Cartridge 2.0.0-M3.

I found myself trying to fix an unkown problem for days and I have finally found a problem which is related to the following EDIFACT element:

LIN+10'
PIA+5+974561:SA+123:SA'

Elements 5+974561:SA and 123:SA' are repeating elements. As it is with EDIFACT for Syntax 3 i.e. UNA:+.? 'UNB+UNOC:3+(...) the repeat separator is "*" so the example above would not work. If changed to

PIA+5+974561:SA*123:SA' it works fine.

However when using syntax 4 i.e. UNA:+.? 'UNB+UNOC:4+(...) I should be able to manually specify the repeat separator. However even if I specify it with UNA like:

UNA:+.?*' the parsing fails.

It should be working without specifying UNA completely due to that part:

                        <xsd:element name="RepeatSeparator" type="xsd:string" default="*" dfdl:length="1" dfdl:lengthKind="explicit" dfdl:escapeSchemeRef="" dfdl:textTrimKind="none">
                                <xsd:annotation>
                                        <xsd:appinfo source="http://www.ogf.org/dfdl/">
                                                <!-- If v3 syntax then assume field separator -->
                                                <dfdl:setVariable ref="ibmEdiFmt:RepeatSep" value="{if (. eq ' ') then ../FieldSeparator else .}"/>
                                        </xsd:appinfo>
                                </xsd:annotation>
                        </xsd:element>

of the EDIFACT-Service-Segments-4.1.xsd file (it copied the FieldSeparator = '+') but it does not work.

I need a way to parse the following pretty standard line:

PIA+5+974561:SA+123:SA'

Does anyone know how this can be solved with smooks cartridges?

Regards,

Mateusz

Welcome to the forum Mateusz and happy New Year ;-). Are you able to reproduce this behaviour with the latest EDIFACT cartridge snapshot (2.0.0-RC1-SNAPSHOT)?
