Hello!
I have a problem in transforming an xml to Edifact: I need to have the field UNB5-InterchangeControlReference automatically generated from my application. I read some documents about auto-generated value in converting xml to edi, and it's written that DataDirect library are able to manage this kind of values, but I don't know how to do it...
Could you help me please?
Thanks!
Giulia

What rules do you have for generating the numbers?
Are they based on sequence, or date?

In DataDirect XQuery, you could pull from a database...

In the Edifact standard, this number is a counter that is incremented for each document sent, and it is usually managed by the translator.
I found an Edi converter property to set, "count", which seems to do what I whant, but it doesn't work...
(http://www.xmlconverters.com/doc/40/java/xmlconverters_ug/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm , you can find the propertes list under XML Converters™ Properties --> EDI XML Converter Properties)
I know I can use a DB, but I prefer to avoid this solution if possible.

Thanks for help!

Our converters are library components; they have no external
storage. You would need some external component to drive that
number - perhaps you could fetch a sequence number from your
database, or have the caller pass it in.

As to 'count', it only controls how segment count limits are
handled.
