To all,
We are using DFDL to output Fixed Width Flat Files.
We aren't able to set the default value and get it to come out in the file.
Has anyone gotten the default value working in DFDL output?
We found a document that said this isn't supported but I wanted to check with the group and see what you say.
Thanks,
EMC |

Can you link to that document?
I'm sure that Kimbert will be along (probably tomorrow) to give you the right pointers.

Every time you reinvent the wheel the more square it gets (anon). If in doubt think and investigate before you ask silly questions. |

You will need to specify the runtime and toolkit versions you are using. I cannot swear but I am nearly certain that I did get the default values out sometime ago. |

1- I don't know why my post was duplicated. sorry for that. (probably did a quote rather than edit)
2- I have just had a quick test, defined a 3 elements record, each fixed length 10, padded with spaces, default values value1, value2 and value3. Create the output record and the default values are set without any problem.
3- I am using WMB v8.0.0.2

so make sure your elements are mandatory if you want them defaulted. |

That's quite an old document. The info center should list any unimplemented features in DFDL. It changes with every release ( DFDL keeps getting better ) so you will need to check the correct version of the info center.

Here is the link. Sorry it didn't come thru when I tagged it as URL. |
Irrelevant. I have already proved it works. Have you considered the possibility that maybe you are doing something wrong ? |
