BEA WebLogic Integration Release Notes 67
If the Truncate After n characters option is selected, all characters after the nth
character position from the start of the field are truncated. This feature is only offered
for XML-to-binary translations. You can select either option or both options.
MFL v2.02 provides a two new attributes to support this feature:
truncateFirst and
truncateAfter. Both attributes take integer values indicating the number of
characters to truncate.
For example,
truncateFirst=”2” truncates the first 2 characters of the field.
Specifying
truncateAfter=”3” truncates everything after 3 characters.
Padding of Mandatory Fields
This padding of mandatory fields option is provided so that mandatory groups or
mandatory fields that do not have data at translation time are filled or padded if a
default value is provided for the field. If no default value is specified and the field does
not have data during translation, than an error is generated. This feature is useful in the
case of groups occurring multiple times, where data for all fields in the group is the
same. By providing default values for all the fields in the group, those group
occurrences without data are padded with default values.
This feature works is only offered for XML-to-binary translations. There is no MFL
change for this feature.
