Hello everybody, I'm trying to create an outbound positional flatfile schema with padding characters. If the one XML Node is empty the padding charackter starts with an unmeant CRLF. What am I doing wrong? I'm to blind to find it out myself at the moment. Example: Flatfile result: 711031103500 16218125 0004500044070726 712 In the first line there is an CRLF after 726. In the second line the wanted 9 spaces. Then again CRLF. Third line again spaces with CRLF. What I need: 711031103500 16218125 0004500044070726 712 No CRLFs. My Inbound XML File: - <VDA xmlns="http://VDA4913_Schema"> - <Identifier xmlns=""> <Record_Type>711</Record_Type> <Version>03</Version> <Data_Recipient_Number>1103500</Data_Recipient_Number> <Data_Sender_Number>16218125</Data_Sender_Number> <Transfer_Number_Old>45</Transfer_Number_Old> <Transfer_Number_New>44</Transfer_Number_New> <Transfer_Date>070726</Transfer_Date> <Subcontractor_Number /> <Carrier_Number /> <Warehouse_Key /> <****pment_Key /> <Empty_Field_711 /> </Identifier> -
