Target i want only Field fixed valus with out using any field separator,
EX : H001_01ValueH001_02ValueH001_03Value...
     H002_01ValueH002-02Value...
     L001_01ValueL001_02Value..
     L002_01ValueL002_02Value...
Record Structure i gave : ORD_HD,H001,H002,ORD_LD,L001,L002
H001.fieldFixedLengths : 4,10,5 (Here i gave H001 lenths)
H001.endSeparator :'nl'
H002.fieldFixedLengths : 4,10,5 (Here i gave H001 lenths)
H002.endSeparator :'nl'
L001.fieldFixedLengths : 4,10,5 (Here i gave H001 lenths)

Please can you tell me any one i want to generate in target end fixed lenth file with out .dat file..

Hi Venu,
Just to clarify, does your structure look as below....
<ns0:ORD_MT >
--<ORD_HD>
<H001>
<H001_01>TEST</H001_01>
<H001_02 />
<H001_03 />
<H001_04>0080000659</H001_04>
<H001_05 />
</H001>
<H002>
<H002_01>TEST1</H002_01>
<H002_02>0000000000</H002_02>
<H002_03 />
<H004_04 />
</H002>
--</ORD_HD>
--<ORD_LD>
<L001>
<L001_01>L001</L001_01>
<L001_02>0000000000</L001_02>
<L001_03 />
<L001_04 />
</L001>
<L002>
<L002_01>LLLL</L002_01>
<L002_02>0000000000</L002_02>
<L002_03 />
<L002_04 />
<L002_05 />
</L002>
--</ORD_LD>
</ns0:ORD_MT>
If it is so, Since your structure has more than 2 levels of Hierarchy, you will not be able to do content conversion. Content conversion can be done upto only 2 evels of Hierarchy to the best of my Knowledge.
Anyways if it is so then the only possible solution that i can suggest is to change the structure as either of the 2 below and then do content conversion...
<ns0:ORD_MT >
<H001>
<H001_01>TEST</H001_01>
<H001_02 />
<H001_03 />
<H001_04>0080000659</H001_04>
<H001_05 />
</H001>
<H002>
<H002_01>TEST1</H002_01>
<H002_02>0000000000</H002_02>
<H002_03 />
<H004_04 />
</H002>
<L001>
<L001_01>L001</L001_01>
<L001_02>0000000000</L001_02>
<L001_03 />
<L001_04 />
</L001>
<L002>
<L002_01>LLLL</L002_01>
<L002_02>0000000000</L002_02>
<L002_03 />
<L002_04 />
<L002_05 />
</L002>
</ns0:ORD_MT>
or
<ns0:ORD_MT >
--<ORD_HD>
<H001_01>TEST</H001_01>
<H001_02 />
<H001_03 />
<H001_04>0080000659</H001_04>
<H001_05 />
<H002_01>TEST1</H002_01>
<H002_02>0000000000</H002_02>
<H002_03 />
<H004_04 />
--</ORD_HD>
--<ORD_LD>
<L001_01>L001</L001_01>
<L001_02>0000000000</L001_02>
<L001_03 />
<L001_04 />
<L002_01>LLLL</L002_01>
<L002_02>0000000000</L002_02>
<L002_03 />
<L002_04 />
<L002_05 />
--</ORD_LD>
</ns0:ORD_MT>
Which of these structures to use depends on your logic and need and also do note the fact that changing the structure will bring in a change to your mapping logic. So do make a wise call on the same....
