File to File using BPM & value mapping

Question

Hi,
   I have the following scenario to do. sample file structure is given below.
source:
HDR   13052008INDIA
BDY   123456
BDY   1234567
EOF 
Target:
HDR 2IN  BDY 123456 EOF
HDR 2IN  BDY 1234567 EOF
for the above mentioned source and target mapping. we have to use BPM and value mapping.
In the HDR row 13052008 is the date value this has to be passed to RFC function module and it will return 2, this value has to be mapped to target
And INDIA has to be mapped to IN using the value mapping option. similarly we have many coutry code.
could anyone let me know the step by step procedure to achieve this, I followed the blog https://weblogs.sdn.sap.com/pub/wlg/1926. [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] but it does not fit to my scenario.
help is appreciated.

Hey,
     This is a normal file to file scenario.
     You need to use RFC look up instead of value mapping.(as you need to extract 2 and IN from an RFC)
There is no need for a BPM.
refer to this blog(for RFC look up)
/people/sravya.talanki2/blog/2005/12/21/use-this-crazy-piece-for-any-rfc-mapping-lookups
this will solve your problem.
Output of RFC look up will be 2 and IN . So use the concat function.
Other values map them directly from source to target.
Also, set the occurence for the target structure as 0 to unbounded in the mapping.(this is to be done in order to have one file for each record of the source)
You also need to configure file content conversion.(both at sender and reciever side) to convert the text file to XML on the sender side and then XML to text at the reciever side.
refer to this link for FCC.

This is for sender file content conversion.
