Subject: UNOC:4 forces converter to input 8-digit date in UNB0401

Dear all,

I have created an XQuery for the conversion to a BERMAN (EDIFACT) message. In the UNB segment, UNB01 looks as follows:
<UNB01>
<UNB0101>UNOC</UNB0101>
<UNB0102>4</UNB0102>
</UNB01>
UNB0401 should contain a 6-digit date.
However, after conversion the segment is filled with an 8-digit date.
Even when I put a hard-coded date in UNB0401, the conversion forces it to be 8-digit.

When I use value 2 for UNB0102, the date in UNB0401 is 6-digit.

Is this a bug and/or can this be solved in the converter string?
If this is a bug, will it be solved in the next release?

Thanks in advance,
Jordy Bakker

According to the UNECE standards, S004/0017 (UNB04) becomes n8 as from UNOC:4 (ISO 9735:1998). Before that, the element was n6 (ISO 9735:1992).

So Stylus Studio treats it right.

However, I would like to work around this rule, since our customers did not implement their UNB segment in the right way for UNOC:4.

Is it possible to work around this rule by e.g. using a converter line command?
