Praveen PaletySubject: Fixed Length Record Layout to XML
Author: Praveen Palety

I am working with a a file similar to what was used in this example.
http://www.stylusstudio.com/varying_record_layout.html
Ony diffrence is ours is a fixed length file.
I have created a conversion file to convert input file to XML similar to below example.

<root>
<Region1>
<RecType2>...</RecType2>
<RecType3><Amt>..</Amt></RecType3>
<RecType4>...</RecType4>
<RecType5>...</RecType5>
<RecType6><Pay>..</Pay></RecType6>
<RecType2>...</RecType2>
<RecType3><Amt>..</Amt></RecType3>
<RecType4>...</RecType4>
<RecType5>...</RecType5>
<RecType6><Pay>..</Pay></RecType6>
<RecType2>...</RecType2>
<RecType3>><Amt>..</Amt></RecType3>
<RecType4>...</RecType4>
<RecType5>...</RecType5>
<RecType6><Pay>..</Pay></RecType6>
</Region1></root>

I have to create an XSLT to transform this XML to a new XML with each record set under its own node. Final XML should be similar to below. I am only interested in RecType3 and RecType6.

<Region1> <Payment><Amt>RecType3/Amt</Amt><Payee>RexType6/Pay</Payee></payment> <Payment><Amt>RecType3/Amt</Amt><Payee>RexType6/Pay</Payee></payment>
<Payment><Amt>RecType3/Amt</Amt><Payee>RexType6/Pay</Payee> </payment>
</Region1>

How can I do this? Is it easier to change the conv file to create separate nodes or write the logic in XSLT used for transformation?


Thanks,
Praveen

Hi Praveen,

If the XSLT is still necessary to do other transformations then my preference would be to write the logic in XSLT rather than change the conv file.

Regards,
Rory
