Thanks dude. I have implemented it the same way. I wish
Microsoft have this ability to work with variables on
orchestration in BizTalk 2004. I have come across this
probem one time too many and do not actually like the
idea of having a external appendage to the orchestration
to do a very simple iteration.

In BTS 2004 just go ahead and create a variable - see the designer where you
create messages/ports/port-types it does variables as well and assign it a
value .

All

We are having problems with assigning data to a Variable from an in coming m
essage, when we run the Orchestration in debug we get a 'NULL Reference Exce
ption Error'

We even tried fixed data values in our expression but again get the same err
or.

please note we are using 2004

cheers

Aly !

p.s this must be simple as we only want to set a value :-(
