To all,
Does anyone know why we are now experiencing new DFDL parser errors in WMB 8.0.0.4? We upgraded two of our Development Brokers to 8.0.0.4 from 8.0.0.2 and are now getting this error.
BIP5807E: The DFDL parser signalled that a processing error occurred. The message from the DFDL parser is: 'CTDP3043E: Text to number conversion error for string ' '. Character '' at offset '1' cannot be parsed.'
Was this a defect in 8.0.0.2 and it is fixed in 8.0.0.4? In 8.0.0.2 an application sends us a space ' ' in a field that is defined as numeric in the DFDL but we don't get a parsing error. Now is it possible they fixed that and the DFDL parser is now enforcing the correct data type for the field? Thus, it is now, as the error above states cannot interpret a ' ' as a valid numeric value?
Also, is there a setting in the DFDL Message Model that will allow that if there is data it will enforce the numeric data type otherwise ignore the lack of data?
Or is this a defect in 8.0.0.4?
Thanks,
Eric |

Well, a space is never a valid value for a numeric field. My guess is that a defect was fixed in the DFDL parser. What value do you expect the DFDL parser to assign to this 'number'?
If you do need to treat one ( or more ) spaces as a valid value for an xs:integer field then you should
- set the element to be 'nillable'
- set the nil kind to 'Nil Literal Character'
- set the nil value to %SP;
...which will cause one or more spaces to be interpret as a NULL value. In your code, you can test for a NULL and translate it to whatever value you need.

Kimbert,
Upon initial testing you seem to be spot on. We do actually want to interpret this space as nil. Then when mapped to XML output it should produce an empty XML tag. That is precisely what we want at this time.
Thanks much.
I'm still confirming the fix with IBM. They are making me work to confirm what they did with the DFDL paser though. Geez!
Thanks,
Eric |
