        Hello Guru’s,

        I am trying to map a Flatfile to Flatfile format but the input message contains reserved greater than > and less than > characters. These cause the mapping process to fail which may due to the Flatfile disassembler. Has anyone come across this before, is there any way I can escape these characters in either the inbound schema or map?

        Thanks in advance,
        Alex 😕

          Hi thanks for your reply. Yes, I’m sure it’s < > chars that are causing the issue. If I take them out or make sure they are equal in pairs then no problem, if unequal I get the following error when I try to test the Map:
          \”Invoking component…
          C:\\DOCUME~1\\aknott\\LOCALS~1\\Temp\\mapTLogDataToStorescanData_output.xml: error btm1048: Native serialization error: There is an unclosed literal string. Line 1, position 266.
          E:\\Documents and Settings\\aknott\\My Documents\\Storescan\\Biztalk\\TLogData_To_Storescan\\TLogData_To_Storescan\\mapTLogDataToStorescanData.btm: error btm1054: Test Map failure for map file <file:///E:\\Documents and Settings\\aknott\\My Documents\\Storescan\\Biztalk\\TLogData_To_Storescan\\TLogData_To_Storescan\\mapTLogDataToStorescanData.btm>.
          Component invocation succeeded. \”

          The problem is that my data will most certainly have unequal numbers of < > chars.
          I have been trying to set the CDATA setting in the Map properties but this doesn’t seem to work either!!
          Any ideas??

              Hmmm – I haven’t tried this, but I’d be extremely surprised if the flat file disassembler didn’t provide escaping of all xml characters it found in a flat file data stream. Are you sure the presence of < > is really the issue ? What is the error your are getting ?

                  Apart from a map, are you able to validate an instance document against your flat file schema ?
