Record validation in electronic reporting

(5) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by egsameera 128
Hi All,
 
There is a requirement to validate creditor postal address (whether there is a record or not) in "ISO20022 Credit transfer" format.
How to validate for an empty record in electronic reporting? For lists there is "ISEMPTY", for a record is there anything? 
 
 
Path: '$PaymentByDebtor'.lines.Creditor.PostalAddress
 
Can anyone help me on this?
 
Thanks,
Gihan

    Hi,
     
    I am not 100% sure what the requirement is. 
    Do you want to prevent the user to create the xml file if the condition is met?
    Or do you want to set it up as an if condition, like if the address is empty then the outcome is a ""(blank) string? 
    Or both?
     
    Apart from that, you can check the standard format (1) for validations (2).
    Find examples (3) and (4) if you want to check for an empty list or a blank string.
    These validations prevent the user from creating the xml file and will throw an error with the error message set up.
     
     

    Kind regards, Adis

    Hi Adis,
     
    Thank you for the respond.
     
    Yes, I want to prevent the user to create the xml file if the condition is met. 
    And if the values are blank, it hides the tags from the file.
     
    Below is the validation, but it doesn't prevent creating the file. 
     
    Path: ISO20022CTReports/XMLHeader/Document/CstmrCdtTrfInitn/PmtInf/CdtTrfTxInf/Cdtr/PstlAdr/Ctry/String
    Condition: '$PaymentByDebtor'.lines.Creditor.PostalAddress.Country=""
    Message: "Error - Country/region cannot be blank"
    Post-validation action: Stop execution (raise an error)
    Write a log: To both locations
     
    And in standard validations (2) it is a List {NOT(ISEMPTY('$PaymentByDebtor'))}.
    In this case it is a Record {'$PaymentByDebtor'.lines.Creditor.PostalAddress} as I have mentioned in the initial post.
     
    Is there any way that I can check whether the {'$PaymentByDebtor'.lines.Creditor.PostalAddress} record is blank or is there anything I have missed in the condition?
     
    Thanks,
    Gihan
