Receiver determination(or Interface determination) and conditional routing

Question

I have a flat file to flat file scenario. Based on the input file content, I want to route data to the receiver.
My source flat file contains several IDOC details. Assume two fields FIELD1 and FIELD2 in different segments of the IDOC. My requirement is if FIELD1 of an IDOC = "US" and FIELD2 of the same IDOC = "CA", then that IDOC's details needs to be passed to the receiver.
I have implemented the above condition at interface determination.
But the problem is:
Assume there are 3 idocs in the input file.
FIELD1 of IDOC[1] = 'US' and FIELD2 of IDOC[1] = 'GL'
FIELD1 of IDOC[2] = 'UK' and FIELD2 of IDOC[2] = 'EN'
FIELD1 of IDOC[3] = 'BR' and FIELD2 of IDOC[3] = 'CA' .
Now none of the IDOCs in the input satisfy my requirement and hence the message mapping should not be called at all. But in my case its failing because FIELD1 of IDOC[1] and FIELD2 of IDOC[3] together are satisfying the condition and hence the message mapping is called.
But I need to check this condition IDOCwise. Both the conditions to be satisfies in the same IDOC.
I am thinking that contexts are not being taken care.. It just see the whole file together and not IDOCwise.
Can someone help me on the same. Please let me know if more information is required.
Thanks,
Shobha

The ideal solution to your scenario is to redesign the interface as below;
1. Receive the file.
2. Do a 1: N mapping (this should split your message into multiple Messages)
3. On this message you can do the required check. Now only the required field for the particular IDoc will be part of the check and it will not mix with other Idocs.
Will this do? Else please provide more details
