Counter column in the Receiver file

Question

Hi All,
My requirement -->
Souce is IDOC and target is a file.
In the Receiver file there is one column counter which will indicate the counter for each line...
So the Receiver file should be like this
FHEAD,0001
THEAD,00002,00001,20081103
TDETL,0003,0001,A,777,23456789
TDETL,0004,0002,M,881,45333333
TTAIL,0005
THEAD,0006,00002,20081103
TDETL,0007,0001,A,777,23456789
TDETL,0008,0002,M,881,45333333
TDETL,0009,0003,M,381,4533677
TTAIL,0010
FTAIL,0011
The problem is when i map with the source and use counter for the second column, i am getting the counters different, this is due to the condition on the node level, because if 10 idocs come the file may need only 5 based on condition. but since source occurence is 10 the counter cannot give correct values in the file as required,
Please suggest the best way to handle this..

Hi,

As far as i understand the question, you need the 5 Idocs based on condition and then you want to give the counter 1 to 5. Right ?
If this is the case just use one more additional parameter for counting the occurence when some Idoc come just increment it.
Like if you are using X variable for counting Idocs earlier n i think you are using that variable only for assigning count for filtered Idocs. or may be you are checking some condition and thats why that output for count is coming wrong. Use another variable and then increment that variable and assign that variable value to desired place.
