I've tried that also. It does not work.
I read on some other sites also. If the repeating record can occur any number of times then a tag identifier is mandatory. Some people have suggested other work around's but for me modifying the file in the disassembler seem to be the better option because I know how implement that.
Sheezzzz… Sometimes i think custom coding the entire thing would've been a better option than using Biztalk.

When you set a fixed repetition on the detail record, you are giving it enough into to be able to identify a valid instance in the batch.
If you meet one structure it will pass that as a doc instance if you are configured to allow partial batches in. (I do not believe that Biztalk will take some of what's there and leave the rest without calling the rest an error.)
But when you are leaving it *, it things there is more data after the last detail record, because there is a delimiter there, and there is nothing there, so it is calling the instance a failure.
