How to ignore footer in fixed length file

Question

I have the following data which needs to be processed
SMAL002495
SMAL002496
%%EOF
which consists of multiple (unbounded) records with a single end of file marker (%%EOF)
This is the existing schema used:
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:nxsd="http://xmlns.oracle.com/pcbpel/nxsd"
targetNamespace="--suppressed--"
xmlns:tns="--suppressed--"
elementFormDefault="qualified"
attributeFormDefault="unqualified" nxsd:encoding="ASCII" nxsd:stream="chars" nxsd:version="NXSD">
<xsd:element name="container">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="detail" nxsd:style="array" nxsd:cellSeparatedBy="${eol}" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="unbounded" nxsd:arrayTerminatedBy="%%EOF">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="ABC" type="xsd:string" nxsd:style="fixedLength" nxsd:length="20"/>
</xsd:sequence>
          </xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:schema>
How can I skip %%EOF and avoid having the inbound file rejected, given the adapter tries to allocate an element of 20 characters in length? (nsxd:arrayTerminatedBy, as shown above does not work as presumably, the %%EOF is on a separate line)
Is there a way I can exclude the %%EOF marker, or skip, or ignore it?
Thanks

Answer 1

There is a command StartsWith wich may help in this situation. You can play with the code but you should get the idea. BPEL will read it in but you can ignore by not mapping.
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:nxsd="http://xmlns.oracle.com/pcbpel/nxsd"
targetNamespace="suppressed"
xmlns:tns="suppressed"
elementFormDefault="qualified"
attributeFormDefault="unqualified" nxsd:encoding="ASCII" nxsd:stream="chars" nxsd:version="NXSD">
<xsd:element name="container">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="detail" nxsd:style="array" nxsd:cellSeparatedBy="${eol}" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="unbounded" nxsd:arrayTerminatedBy="%%EOF">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="ABC" type="xsd:string" nxsd:style="fixedLength" nxsd:length="20"/>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="Dummy" nxsd:startsWith="%%EOF" maxOccurs="unbounded">
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:schema>
