Topic: Mapping FORTRAS BORD512 or similar flat file interfaces
Posted: Thursday, October 23, 2014 12:55:14 PM
Did anybody try to map into/from the FORTRAS BORD512 interface? (perhaps not well known - it's an interface from the transportation/logistics world)

red colored text = record types
green colored text = counting up numbers corresponding to one consignment

@@PHBORD512 - only one time per file
A00 - only one time per file
B00001... - up to 2-5 times - start of first consignment
B00001...
B10001... - up to 9 times per B00
D00001... - up to 999 times
F00001... - up to 999 times per D00
F00001...
F00001...
G00001... - up to and so on
G99001...
H00001... - up to 4 times
H10001... - up to 9 times
B00002... - start of second consignment

Splitting of each record is not the problem. I have done it with FlexText, but how to deal afterwards with splitted records in MapForce? How is it possible to keep the data of one consignement in one data package?

In my trials there are no line breaks (only one after the first line). It's all in one big string. How can I create line breaks at the end of ervery record?

Thanks for your ideas. I hope you understand the description.

After requesting Altova support, the answer could be useful for everyone.

Officially only status codes '0' (success) and ' non-zero' (failure) are defined. The meaning of 'non-zero' is kept a secret *g*

But let's make it short - there is a bug in 2014 r2 version.

Solution:
Install version 2014 r2 sp1 and it will work.

Hi there,

I'm currently evaluating MapForce and FlowForce. After generating an EDI to XML mapping and deploying into FlowForce Server, I tried to use it in a job. Unfortunately it doesn't work and the result is exitcode 7, which means - what??

Does anybody where to get an exitcode documentation?

Thanks in advance for your assistance.
