Assuming you are using the example ISO8583 schemas from IBM, the ISO8583 1987 model does not have a namespace. Try: SET OutputRoot.Properties.MessageType = '():ISO8583_1987'; Also, the DFDL message you are creating is not correct, as you are: a) not creating the MTI_ fields b) not creating the ...

IBM intends to create DFDL schemas for common formats, but I can't be more specific at the moment.

Yes, you set the dfdl:separator property on the child xs:sequence. MRM made the mistake of allowing TDS properties on both xs:complexType and xs:sequence, which has caused usability problems with customers. To avoid this DSFDL does not let you set properties on xs:complexType, just on xs:sequence ...

Yes. In the example I named the integer element 'myInt'. I could have just as easily called it 'customerNumber' or anything else. What you name your elements in a DFDL schema is up to you, and that name then appears in the DFDL infoset (ie, the message tree if using MB).
