Hi kutumba,
Why do you want to check if your files as more 999 lines?
Is is due to a business rule ? or because you have a technical dump if file has 1000 lines?
I ask you that, coz if this the 2nd case, there are some OSS notes to correct a such error. Personnaly, I send regurlaly files with 10.000 lines without problem.
For the count, another way is to manage the count directly in your Message Mapping:
1. add a field called "nbr_lines" in the target Message Type
2. use function "Count" between the root of your source Message Type and this field "nbr_lines".
3. In your BPM (or directly in the Interface determination) add your check condition.
