This Quick Note discusses a solution to the use case provided by Richard Kuiter.
An input file contains the following records:
H100000000000014099120ASN00507
L1140991200000008261850826185738
L1140991200000008261850826185738
L1140991200000008261850826185738
L1140991200000008261850826185738
L1140991200000008261850826185738
L1140991200000008261850826185738
H100000000000014099126ASN00531
L1140991260000008262690826269662
L1140991260000008262690826269662
L1140991260000008262690826269662
L1140991260000008262690826269662
L1140991260000008262690826269662
It is required that each block of records starting with the H1 (header) record and containing all the following L1 (line) records, be written to a different file.
The solution involves the use of:
1. Batch Inbound eWay to locate the input file and provide its name and location to a Java Collaboration Definition
2. Batch Local File eWay to provide an Input Stream to the Batch Record eWay
3. Batch Record eWay to break up the input stream into records delimited by carriage return+new line
4. Batch Local File eWay to write each block of records to a file with a distinct name
Brief steps to implement this solution are given in the full Quick Note as QuickNote_001. The collaboration code will work in Java CAPS 5 and 6 Repository.
