FlatFile, Custom Pipeline: Missing Data

Hello and thanks for your assistance.

I have a sample flat file definition, (provided below), then i have a custom send port that outputs the file contents in \”|\” delimited fashion.
– When I output the flat-file schema just using PassThruTransmit, the expected 2 lines of data exist.
– When I output the flat-file schema using the custom send pipeline, only the first line of the expected two lines of data exist.

Question, why would the custom send pipeline only output the first line of data?

This is my first FlatFile attempt, I tried looking for ‘delimited’ samples, but was only able to find ‘positional’ file samples, if you know a link to a sample (preferably with images) please let me know.

(When you see the output (provided below), it looks like the when transmited using ‘PassThruTransmit’, it appears as though thier exists in the document two root elements, i think that this may be the problem, if infact, question: how would i set up the flat file to work as i need?)
