Hi,
I have a COBOL copybook that has repeating fields which I want to parse using an MRM layout. The repeating fields can have a minimum of 1 instance and maximum of 10 - there is no "DEPENDING ON" type variable. I would expect that WMQI 2.1 's Min Occurs and Max Occurs should allow me to parse a message with 1 occurence of the repeating structure till 10 occurences - but that does not seem to be the case. My MRM is always expecting 10 occurences, else it fails.
Any help would be really appreciated.

You can't do it without a 'DEPENDING ON' variable, as CWF needs to know how many occurences there are.
The only exception is if the repeating field is the last one in the message, in which case CWF keeps reading until the end of the message. |

Unless you use TDS instead of CWF.
Then you can do variable unknown repeats, as long as your message has something that can be a delimiter.

Make Sure that on CWF tab of the Array-Name, "repeat count" is specified.
