I have an input xml file that contain elements a1, a2, a3, b1, b2, and
b3 (see below).  Elements a1, a2, and a3 map directly to elements on a
web service input. However elements b1, b2, and b3 are optional and
are needed to map to a repeating record on the web service (see
below).  Any ideas on how to solve this issue in a map?

<InputXMLFile>
<a1 />
<a2 />
<a3 />
<b1 />
<b2 />
<b3 />
</InputXMLFile>


<WebService>
<a1 />
<a2 />
<a3 />
<OptionalFields>
<OptionalField Name="b1" Value="">
<OptionalField Name="b2" Value="">
<OptionalField Name="b3" Value="">
</OptionalFields>
</WebService>


Thanks in advance

You have to use the "looping" functiod along with the "Value Mapping"
functiod to do this.  I have a map for this, but I don't know how to attach 
a
file here.  If you will give me a way to send it to you, I will be glad to
forward it to you.

Tracy,

If you could email that map file to me, that would be great.

Thank you very much

Ian
