JDBC Receiver does not convert empty string to NULL

Question

Hello experts,
I am facing a problem with an INSERT statement to ORACLE DB where some of the fields are empty, for example:
- <STATEMENT_VLP_CONT_DETAILS>
- <TABLE_VLP_CONT_DETAILS ACTION="INSERT">
  <TABLE>VLP_CONT_DETAILS</TABLE>
- <ACCESS>
  <VLP_HDR_ID>43</VLP_HDR_ID>
  <VLP_CONT_LINE_ID>1</VLP_CONT_LINE_ID>
  <QUANTITY>1</QUANTITY>
  <OWNER>CBHU</OWNER>
  <SERIAL_NO>3372739</SERIAL_NO>
  <CONT_ISO_CODE>2300</CONT_ISO_CODE>
  <WEIGHT>6.44</WEIGHT>
  <POL>ILASH</POL>
  <POD>FRFOS</POD>
  <FD>FRFOS</FD>
  <OPER_CODE>COS</OPER_CODE>
  <CUR_STOW_LOC>150102</CUR_STOW_LOC>
  <PRV_STOW_LOC />
  <HAZARDOUS>N</HAZARDOUS>
In the JDBC Receiver comm channel I selected: Interpretation of Empty String Values = NULL Value.
It seems the empty strings are not converted to NULL values as can be seen in the reflected SQL statement in RWB:
INSERT INTO  VLP_CONT_DETAILS (VLP_HDR_ID, VLP_CONT_LINE_ID, QUANTITY, OWNER, SERIAL_NO, CONT_ISO_CODE, WEIGHT, POL, POD, FD, OPER_CODE, CUR_STOW_LOC, PRV_STOW_LOC, HAZARDOUS, EMPTY, REFER, OOG, HAZARD_IMDG, TEMP_SET, TEMP_MIN, TEMP_MAX, FRONT_OVL, REAR_OVL, RIGHT_OVW, LEFT_OVW, OVERHEIGHT, COMMODITY, BOOKING_REF, ALLOTMENT, YARD_LOC, LD_SEQ_CRANEID, LD_SEQ_NUMBER, LD_STATUS, STACKABLE, OPT_PORT_CODE1, OPT_PORT_CODE2, OPT_PORT_CODE3) VALUES (44, 1, 1, CBHU, 3372739 , 2300,  6.44, ILASH, FRFOS, FRFOS, COS,   150102,         , N, N, N, N,      ,      ,      ,      ,    ,    ,    ,    ,    ,     ,             ,    ,           ,    ,    0,    64, N,      ,      ,      )
So, I am getting the following error:
Could not execute statement for table/stored proc. "VLP_CONT_DETAILS" (structure "STATEMENT_VLP_CONT_DETAILS") due to java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00936: missing expression
Help would be appreciated.

Hi Effi,
There is a mismatch in the field and thier value.
Here field id 37
VLP_HDR_ID, VLP_CONT_LINE_ID, QUANTITY, OWNER, SERIAL_NO, CONT_ISO_CODE, WEIGHT, POL, POD, FD, OPER_CODE, CUR_STOW_LOC, PRV_STOW_LOC, HAZARDOUS, EMPTY, REFER, OOG, HAZARD_IMDG, TEMP_SET, TEMP_MIN, TEMP_MAX, FRONT_OVL, REAR_OVL, RIGHT_OVW, LEFT_OVW, OVERHEIGHT, COMMODITY, BOOKING_REF, ALLOTMENT, YARD_LOC, LD_SEQ_CRANEID, LD_SEQ_NUMBER, LD_STATUS, STACKABLE, OPT_PORT_CODE1, OPT_PORT_CODE2, OPT_PORT_CODE3
And value is 35
44, 1, 1, CBHU, 3372739 , 2300, 6.44, ILASH, FRFOS, FRFOS, COS, 150102, , N, N, N, N, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 0, 64, N, , ,
Give empty values for nuil fields so that they can be made NULL by jdbc adapter
