this is the cobol file I am trying to build a message definition TO parse.. using multipart message technique..
Question :: Can I take an imaginary element as record id since I didnt find any common one??
2) Body has sub-part BODY-03, CAN I delete that and take as outer message..??
Please answer.. Will be waiting for your valuable suggestions? |

It's only an imaginary element if you do not put it into the message model.
Once it's in the message model, it's a real element (well, depending on data type it might be an integral element).
Yes, you can alter a message model after building it from a copybook or other kind of imported data structure.
At some point, the message model you are using to create or parse a message has to actually completely match the data being sent or received by the external application. |

Yes, you can have more than one element with 'Interpret element value' set to 'Message identity'. The parser will use the value of the most recently-encountered 'message identity' element when it resolves an embedded message.
