Hello,

I'm trying to generate and XML file from a copybook with WTX.
I'm already able to generate a copybook from an XML input, but I have some issues for the reverse operation.

What I've done is that I created a new map, put my copybook type tree as an input and the xsd type tree as an output.
Next I took some fields from the copybook and ,linked them to the corresponding XML field.

When I try to execute this map, I receive this error: One or more inputs was invalid.

Any idea if I forgot something?

Thx

Could be something wrong with your input data. Check the trace file.

Thanks for your reply.

Actually the trace View is empty; Is there anything to do to activate the trace?

By the way, when I execute the map, in the results popup I can see:

One or more inputs was invalid
Input: 1 of 1 Objects: 28
Output: 0 of 0

In my copybook I have 28 objects (groups + fields).
So I guess, I'm not so far from the solution...

Activate the trace on the map settings. If you are getting invalid objects it will show in the .mtr file.

Great!

In the trace, the same error is coming a couple of time:
---
(Level 3: Offset 41, len 4, comp 2 of 12, #1, DI 00000004:)
Data at offset 41 ('AAAA...') not in RESTRICTION LIST of TYPE
X'000E' (FIELD_ENVIRONMENT Field CopyBook).

(Level 3: Offset 41, len 4, comp 2 of 12, #1, DI 00000004:)
Data at offset 41 ('AAAA') is INVALID data of TYPE
X'000E' (FIELD_ENVIRONMENT Field CopyBook).

---
The field FIELD_ENVIRONMENT(len 4) has a Text type (Interpret as Character)
Do you know what RESTRICTION LIST means?

Thanks

So the restriction list in the type tree for FIELD_ENVIRONMENT Field CopyBook does not allow the value 'AAAA'
Check Item Subclass/Restrictions. If you double click in the item it should show you the restriction values.

You're right! this field was an enumeration with a few defined values.

So I'm almost done,but now I'm wondering how to link a Copybook Group to an XML Group

In the copybook input, I have a Group: COPYBOOK_MESSAGES (0:20) with 6 text fields.
In the XML output, I have the corresponding group: MESSAGES (0:20) with 6 text fields.

Is there a way to map automatically those 2 groups?
I know how to add an index on the XML side, so do I have to add 20 Indexes?
Thanks again for your help.

Use a functional map on the XLM group MESSAGES passing the cobol group COPYBOOK_MESSAGES as the parameter, use the functional map wizard to create the map and then map the items.

That's it, I'm done, as you said I created a functional map and then in the executable map I made a reference to this functional map.

Thank you again for you help, I learned a lot through this post!

Hello

This time I'm trying to understand how arrays indexes are working in WTX.
I have a map that converts Copybook to XML.

On the XML side I'm able to get the content of a specific array in the copybook (*MESSAGES_DETAIL*), with something like that:

=IDENTIFICATEUR Field:MESSAGES_DETAIL[0]:MESSAGES_INFO:MESSAGES Group:Copybook_Response

Now I'm trying to use a variable instead of the hardcoded index MESSAGES_DETAIL[0]
I tried : MESSAGES_DETAILTEXTTONUMBER(MESSAGES_NB_BLOC Field:MESSAGES Group:Copybook_Response)

But it says that the rule is invalid... any idea?
Thanks a lot.
