I'm mapping a flat file to an XHTML define tree. I also map a small 834 file to the same tree.

My issue revolves around the flat file mapping. Input field is defined as

Text\Char\
size = 4-4bytes
pad = 4, '0' right justified
pad to - fixed any context

Output is more simple:

Text\Char
size = 0 - *
pad = none

Problem is that I when I move a value from input to output it is dropping trailing zeros.

When I map the same values from an 834 to the same field I capture the trailing zeros.

Both maps use the same output tree.

Thought?

I can't be sure but it sounds like Mercator is interpreting your trailing zeros as the pad character and ignoring them. Try removing the pad logic to see if your output is correct. If so, you'll have to work around the pad characters in your rule logic.
