How to remove segment name

[Tahir Shaikh]

I am splitting my web service response containing data for many DFT messages into multiple DFT. For that I have created an xlate and using CONTINUE-SUPPRESS. To avoid the issue of unwanted FT1 segments going out for consecutive DFT messages, I am making FT1 null after CONTINUE in xlate.

Everything works fine but the issue is even though I am making FT1 segments as null, only segment name appears.

FT1

The FT1 in your outbound variant is defined as required.

Two ways – if you are using BULKCOPY – don’t copy only what you want thus not copying (PATHCOPY or COPY) the offending FT1 segments and they will not appear.

If you continue to use BULKCOPY then change your variant definiition to indicate the FT1 is optional.

Thanks Jim

In my case ,making FT1 optional in variant works
