Hi all,
I am using MB V5 on AIX.
I am having an input COBOL copy book which is having a Field 9(5).
When the input data of this field is 07320 then the broker dropping that leading zero. And length of that filed in the Inputroot is 4 Surprisingly. I am expecting 5 and i need those leading zeroes too.
Is this one a problem with Broker??
The message set properties for this field are
Logicsl prop's-->Local element--> Type xsd:int-
Physical prop's-->Local element-->
Physical type External decimal
Length count: 5, Length units : 5 Bytes
help needed asap.
Thanks, |

xsd:int will drop leading zeros. I donno your exact requirement, but xsd:string will return you full length without dropping leading zeros. |

Umm.
xsd:anything will only provide defaults to the message set.
As in all cases, defaults may not meet your business requirements.
Fortunatley, many many many things about a message set are configurable, and do not require you to go back and change a schema.

Did you see this page? http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wmbhelp/v6r0m0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.etools.mft.doc/ad15160_.htm

String Justification If you have set the Physical Type property to External Decimal, select Left Justify or Right Justify (the default value) from the drop-down list. If you have selected another value for Physical Type, this is property is inactive.
Padding Character The padding character is used to fill out the remaining character positions when the string length is less than the specified string size. If you have set the Physical Type property to Extended Decimal, and the String Justification property is either Left Justify or Right Justify, specify this character in one of the following ways... |
Looks as if you need to set Padding Character to '0' and String Justification to 'Right Justified' |

Hi Kimbert,
i already set the Padding character to '0' & String Justification as 'Right justification'.
probably i need to change Logical prop's-->Local element--> Type xsd:int- to Logicsl prop's-->Local element--> Type xsd:string-
as mentioned by pathipati.
Thanks. |
