Not sure if this screenshot is going to work, but it shows the EDI source schema and my target schema. The ‘=’ functoid set to 1 =1 on each of the target nodes on want to always output regardless… then there is a link coming from the source element in the PER segment to the target element in Root_Child15 node. this simple logic does not work. It appears that the link from the source element overrides any logic on the target side. Since the PER segment in the message does not exist, it is not considered in the code created for the target side. This is even after I try to FORCE the node to kick with the always true parm… does anyone have any idea for a work around on this?
