Hi,

I must create a tab delimited output complex text file from a read on a database table. The file has multiple record lines in it. I have created the XSD from the sample output file and have each field terminated by a './T' . I must pass a tab for each field regardless of whether it is populated from my source data. I can not send a space in the field. How can I map a null value through the XSLT so that the output file has a tab? I've tried setting a default on the xsd but that seems to do nothing. Currently I am setting a fixed text through the mapper to space for all the fields that I do not use. I then go into the XSL and remove the space from the <xsl:text></xsl:text> element. This works, however when I go back into the mapper and change anything through the xslt, it wipes out all of my empty text elements.

Any ideas on how to create a tab delimited file that has tabs for fields that have no data?

Thank you much,
