Rob den BoerSubject: Convertic EDI files into XML
Author: Rob den Boer
Date: 14 Apr 2009 10:35 AM

I am evaluating Stylus Studio to see if this software can do the job for us.

I have watched the EDI to XML video, and started my own conversion, I converted the EDI to XML, and I am working with xQuery to map the data in the required XML format.


I want to know how to deal with multiple segments, for instance in the EDI file:
DTM+11:20090406:102'
DTM+17:20090406:102'
DTM+137:200904061319:203'

translates to:
<DTM>
<DTM01>
<DTM0101><!--2005: Date/time/period qualifier-->11<!--Despatch date and/or time--></DTM0101>
<DTM0102><!--2380: Date/time/period-->20090406</DTM0102>
<DTM0103><!--2379: Date/time/period format qualifier-->102<!--CCYYMMDD--></DTM0103>
</DTM01>
</DTM>
<DTM>
<DTM01>
<DTM0101><!--2005: Date/time/period qualifier-->17<!--Delivery date/time, estimated--></DTM0101>
<DTM0102><!--2380: Date/time/period-->20090406</DTM0102>
<DTM0103><!--2379: Date/time/period format qualifier-->102<!--CCYYMMDD--></DTM0103>
</DTM01>
</DTM>
<DTM>
<DTM01>
<DTM0101><!--2005: Date/time/period qualifier-->137<!--Document/message date/time--></DTM0101>
<DTM0102><!--2380: Date/time/period-->200904061319</DTM0102>
<DTM0103><!--2379: Date/time/period format qualifier-->203<!--CCYYMMDDHHMM--></DTM0103>
</DTM01>
</DTM>



Now I want to map the first DTM segment with qualifier 11 to a field in my xQuery target. Now I get all DTM segments.

How can I do this?

Hi Ron,

You need to create a repeating loop with the "where" port set to filter DTM0101 = 11, take a look at a similar situation in the screenshot attached.

Hope this helps

Ivan, I m stuck-- I hope you can help me again.

I am converting from EDIFACT to XML message, and want to map segment DTM.137 to field "created".

I already have several FLWOR blocks, and cannot attach 2 FLWOR blocks to the same node, which is in fact what i want.

when I attach the FLWOR block to field "created", the xQuery code turns out wrong becaused of the nested quotes, see attached screen.

How can I work around this?

Hi Rob,

One possible solution is to use a predicate

<a:temporder created="$ORDERS/DTM/DTM-01-DateTimePeriod[DTM101-DateTimePeriodQualifier='132']/DTM102-DateTimePeriod" ....

This can be done visually once you have enabled the following setting and reload your query

Tools
-Options
--Module Settings
---XQuery
----Mapper
-----"Display predicates in XPath expressions in the canvas"

Hope this helps

Hi Ivan,

When I put the predicate expression in my xQuery, it worked.

However I donot get the visual XPath predicate to work in the mapper.
I connect the output to my date field in the target.
then connect my datefield to data.
connect the qualifier to the predictate, and change the value so that is reads the requested qualifier 137.

the xQuery code remains empty, like: created="{}"
so I guess I am not using the tool correctly?

There is a small restriction when the target is an attribute, you need to use the function data as following:

- Right click on the canvas, Function Block -> Accessors -> data

- Connect source date to the data block and the data block to the target

- Right click on the left link and click "show control port"

- then create the predicate and connect the output port to the control port

See attached screenshot

Hope this helps
