Using BTS2002 - I am mapping data to a delimited custom docspec that has a re-occuring field at the end. The record is tilde delimited and the reoccuring field is delimited by carriage return line feed. the last groups is a field within a record defined w
ith a <CR> delimiter within a record with a <LF> delimiter. This works great accept when the first data item sent does not exist.
with the first 2 occurrances of input missing I am expecting the following:
field~field~field~<CR><LF><CR><LF>
lastfield2<CR><LF>
lastfield3<CR><LF>

Getting the following:
field~field~field<CR><LF><CR><LF>
~lastfield2<CR><LF>lastfield3<CR><LF>
