MQSeries.net :: View topic - Repeating complex types in comma delimited files

Hi.

We have a scenario where our client wants to send us a rather large comma delimited piece of data. WMQI v2.1 appears to handle it well up to the point when it encounters a repeating complex type. This type can repeat a variable number of times and another field in the structure indicates how many times. I was able to create a message set that describes the structure, but when I send in a sample message, it only reads in the first instance of the complex type.

The CWF layer of the MRM has a property called "Repeat Count Type", but the TDS layer not.

1. Is this a shortcoming in the TDS?
2. Is there some other way to indicate to the parser how many times a particular type repeats in an incoming message?
3. Is there another way to parse CSV streams with repeating types?

Thanks,
Mike
