Wrap Character (Node Property of Flat File Schemas)

 

Use the Wrap Character property to configure, on a per-field basis, the character used to wrap one or more characters so that they will be interpreted as simple data, rather than as having the special meaning they have otherwise been assigned.

Applies to Nodes of Type

Field Element, Field Attribute

Category

Flat File

Allowed Values

Either:

  • No value, resulting in no corresponding annotation in the XSD representation of the schema, and specifying that there is no wrap character defined for the selected Field Element or Field Attribute node. This value is only allowed when the Wrap Character Type property is set to None.

  • Any of the predefined character choices in the drop-down list.

  • Any other single character entered in the format indicated by your choice for the Wrap Character Type property.

Default Value

No value, resulting in no corresponding annotation in the XSD representation of the schema.

XSD Persistence

As the value of the wrap_char attribute of:

  • For Field Element nodes, the element/annotation/appinfo/fieldInfo annotation element.

  • For Field Attribute nodes, the attribute/annotation/appinfo/fieldInfo annotation element.

Remarks

You can examine and set this property in the Visual Studio Properties window when you select a Field Element or Field Attribute 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 containing Record node to Delimited

You must configure the Wrap Character Type property as Character or Hexadecimal before you can configure this property.
