Hi guys,
I am trying to map an XML file to a fixed length flat file, easy peasy. However, i am trying to concatinate 7 elements to 7 seperate constant string values to form 1 long string of 14 characters. Then map that output to the .txt file.
I am having issues because there is no result at all. I can map one element straight to the txt file with a result, and 1 constant to the txt file with an output result. However the long concat function leaves me with nothing.
any suggestions as to where exactly i am being stupid?

Hi Linton,
All the nodes connected to 'concat' must contain a valid value, if one of the input of concat is missing then the whole function will fail.
Use the substitute-missing function for preventing this behavior. In the following link you will find an example about its usage:
