Applies to Nodes of Type

Field Element, Field Attribute

Category

Flat File

Allowed Values

Drop-down list choice Description
Character Indicates that you will provide a wrap character as a character in the Wrap Character property, which will be formatted as a character in the XSD representation of the schema.
Hexadecimal Indicates that you will provide the hexadecimal value ("0xNN") of a wrap character in the Wrap Character property, which will be formatted as a hexadecimal value in the XSD representation of the schema.
Default Wrap Character Use this value if you want to use the default wrap character for the entire schema, as established by the Default Wrap Character property of the Schema node.
None Removes the corresponding annotation in the XSD representation of the schema, if any, specifying that there is no wrap character specified for the selected Field Element or Field Attribute node.

The Wrap Character property should not be set to any value when this property is set to None.

Default Value

None, resulting in no corresponding annotation in the XSD representation of the schema, and specifying that there is no wrap character specified for the selected Field Element or Field Attribute node.

XSD Persistence

As the value of the wrap_char_type (="char", "hex", or "default") 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

If you configure this property with a value of Character or Hexadecimal, then you can configure the Wrap Character property in one of these two formats.
