Hi,
I'm using a WTX node in WMB v7. The output of the WTX map is a CWF message. The cobol copybook has field which is a signed external decimal and the Sign Orientation is Trailing Overpunched. When I'm validating this with the Message Set in WMB it is giving a parser exception.Reason: Output of WTX for this field is like '1234{'. And the Message Set in WMB is expecting 'F1F2F3C4'. What change needs to be done either in WTX or WMB message set so that it doesn't throw a parsing exception.
The first time I read that, I thought you were using 'CWF' to mean 'untagged, fixed length data'. Then I realised that you really are taking the output of a WTX node and reparsing it using the MRM CWF parser. I'm not saying it's wrong, but it does sound like a good way to burn some CPU cycles.

Do you mean that the CWF parser is expecting the bytes 0xF1F2F3C4 but it is receiving 0x313233347B? If so, the first looks like EBCDIC '1234D' and the second looks like ASCII '1234{'. Maybe the CCSID is wrong ( in WTX or in the MRM parser or both ).
