FCC File-XI-IDOC: Pl confirm the validity of parameters I have specified

Question

Hi,
I have the scenario File-XI-IDOC. I have almost completed the IR and ID config minus the FCC part.
Need to do the FCC for reading the file which will enable me to map it to IDOC structure.
I have the following TextFile structure ( Note: each field in the file is fixed length )
Header( 1 record)
Data_header  (1 record)
|_ Data_Item (Multiple records)
Trailer
As expected each node has multiple fields in it like:
Header = Source, Destination, Date
Data_header = Company, Country
Data_item = Office1 address, postcode1,
Data_item = Office2 address, postcode2,
Data_item = Office3 address, postcode3,
Trailer = Checksum, Carriage_return_value
I have keyed in the following values into the various FCC parameters.
Appreciate if you could confirm if they are correct. (pl provide correct values, if needed)
Recordset_name: (should I put any value heer???)
Recordset Structure: Header,1,Data_header,1,Data_item,*,Trailer,1
Key field: (should I put any value heer???)
Header.fieldfixedlengths = 10,10,8
Header.endseparator = 1310   ( Header record ends with a carriage return value 13 followed by line feed character 10)
Header.fieldnames = Source, Destination, Date
Header.Keyfieldvalue = 1  (Should I put anything here??)
Header.keyfieldinstructure = u2018ignoreu2019
Data_Header.fieldfixedlengths = 4,4
Data_Header.endseparator = 1310   ( Data Header record ends with a carriage return value 13 followed by line feed character 10)
Data_Header.fieldnames = Company, Country
Data_Header.Keyfieldvalue = 2  (Should I put anything here??)
Data_Header.keyfieldinstructure = u2018ignoreu2019
Data_Item.fieldfixedlengths = 40,7
Data_Item.endseparator = 1310   ( Data Item record ends with a carriage return value 13 followed by line feed character 10)
Data_Item.fieldnames = Company address, postcode
Data_Item.Keyfieldvalue = 3  (Should I put anything here??)
Data_Item.keyfieldinstructure = u2018ignoreu2019
Trailer.fieldfixedlengths = 2,2,1
Trailer.endseparator = T   ( Trailer  record ends with a character T)
Trailer.fieldnames = Checksum, Carriage_return_value, End_value
Trailer.Keyfieldvalue = 4  (Should I put anything here??)
Trailer.keyfieldinstructure = u2018ignoreu2019
Appreciate if you could confirm if they are correct.
Thanks and Regards

Answer 1

Hi,
I am still confused with what do I do with the CR/LF character pair in my incoming file.
If possible could you let me know the value you would put in the fieldFixedlengths, endSeparator fields in all the recordsets.
As you can see all my data lines end with a value 1310, so do I not need to put it in FCC to let it know that data line is ending.
Appreciate your response.

Header Section
Field                             Length          Notes
Source                             [10]     
Destination                    [10]     
Message ID                  [10]     
Created Timestamp      [8]     
CR/LF character pair        [4]           (Carriage return character (13) followed be line feed character (10) )
Data_Header Section
Field                             Length          Notes
Company                         [4]
Country                           [4]
CR/LF character pair         [4]           (Carriage return character (13) followed be line feed character (10) )
Data_item Section     
Field                             Length          Notes
Address                          [40]
Postcode                          [7]
CR/LF character pair          [4]           (Carriage return character (13) followed be line feed character (10) )
So my file's Header and Data_header and Data_item will look like
STARSYSTEMSAP       1234567890200812121310
GB03GB  1310
