Could someone explain the difference in more detail than what the biztalk pr
ovides in the IDE?  Here is my data values

<member1>
<Lastname>Doe</Lastname>
<Firstname>John</Firstname>
</member1>
<member2>
<Lastname></Lastname>
<Firstname></Firstname>
</member2>

I've created a map and I only want to return member1 and not the null values
 in member2 or I don't want the whole member2 node itself.  I'm thinking it 
has something to do with the min values but I'm not sure what I'm missinig. 
 Thanks.

Do you have any links going to member2 or any of its children? what is the v
alue of "Min Occurs" on the "member 2"?
Can you attach your schemas and map?

In general, if you want to control when node should be created you need to c
onnect logical functoid to it. If logical functoid returns true, then node w
ill be created, if it
returns false, the node (and all its children) will not be created.

Thanks,
Tatyana

Tatyana,

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.  I tried to use logical funct
oids before but didn't spend much time with it, until you told me it was the
 solution.  Anyway I just use map my fields to "string" functoids and one "o
r" functiod to point to t
he member node.  It doesn't generate a node when all fields are null.  Thank
s again.

mber2 or I don't want the whole member2 node itself.  I'm thinking it has something 
to do with the min values but I'm not sure what I'm missinig.  Thanks.
