Guess, the Template mapping to the EDItemplate in the convertToValues is wrong.

The documentToRecord for the above template results in a boundnode as follows:

bound node  
-\>PODFlatFile  
–\>Segment Delim.  
–\>…  
–\>…  
–\>…  
–\>Loop

Have you mapped the PODFlatFile record to EDItemplate in the convertToValues?

If you still have problems, do upload the screen shot of the mappings of the convertToValues step.

Hi, Bhavani.

The error reason is my notebook failure.

After re-install my notebook, the problem disappear.

Thank you.
