Repeating Delimiter Type (Node Property of Flat File Schemas)
Use the Repeating Delimiter Type property to configure, on a per-record basis, how an alternative repeating delimiter string will be expressed in the Repeating Delimiter property and in the underlying XSD representation, or whether the default repeating delimiter string will be used.
Applies to Nodes of Type
Category
Flat File
Allowed Values
| Drop-down list choice | Description |
|---|---|
| Character | Indicates that you will provide a repeating delimiter string as characters in the Repeating Delimiter property, which will be formatted as characters in the XSD representation of the schema. |
| Hexadecimal | Indicates that you will provide the hexadecimal value ("0xNNNN") of a repeating delimiter string in the Repeating Delimiter property, which will be formatted as a hexadecimal value in the XSD representation of the schema. |
| Default Repeating Delimiter | Use this value if you want to use the default repeating delimiter string for the entire schema, as established by the Default Repeating Delimiter property of the Schema node. |
| None | Removes the corresponding annotation in the XSD representation of the schema, if any, specifying that there is no repeating delimiter specified for the selected Record node. The Repeating Delimiter property should not be set to any value when this property is set to None. |
Default Value
None, resulting in no annotation being added to the XSD representation of the schema, and specifying that there is no repeating delimiter specified for the selected Record node.
XSD Persistence
As the value of the repeating_delimiter_type (="char", "hex", or "default") attribute of the element/annotation/appInfo/recordInfo annotation element.
Remarks
You can examine and set this property in the Visual Studio Properties window when you select a Record node (including a root Record node) in BizTalk Editor and you have:
Configured the Flat File Extension option for the Schema Editor Extensions property of the Schema node
Set the Structure property of the selected Record node to Delimited
If you configure this property with a value of Character or Hexadecimal, then you can configure the Repeating Delimiter property in one of these two formats.
