Exception: Unknown policy attribute 'separator' supplied in policy, with value:/xFF

[Stephen Parker]

Trying to implement a policy for a M2F transfer. The source is a fixed-length flat file, being transferred to the mainframe..

When I write the policy as a fixed length policy, I get the error:  Exception: Unknown policy attribute 'separator' supplied in policy, with value:/xFF.

When I write the policy as delimited, with ODOA as the delimiter,

<Record>

<separator>&#x0D;&#x0A;</separator>

</Record>

 the mainframe file contains an extra line after each record.

When I write the file as "translate", as suggested by the MIM HelpDesk,

<Translate>

          <from>&#x0D;</from>

          <to></to>

       </Translate>

the extra lines are removed, but the characters xFF show up between files, if I send more than one.

Any suggestions?

If it is a fixed length record, can you just truncate the record to the proper size by using this policy?

    <Format>

       <Record>

          <length>10</length>                                              <!-- specify record length -->

       </Record>

    </Format>
