Error description
When serializing HL7 messages using DFDL, any separators for 'potentially trailing' (see spec) elements should be suppressed and should not appear in the output. However such separators are not being suppressed if a 'potentially trailing' simple element is missing from the infoset but is followed by another 'potentially trailing' element which is in the infoset but is empty. In the example below, all elements after TXA.19 are 'potentially trailing'. TXA.20 is simple and missing. TXA.24 is empty. <TXA.19.DocumentAvailabilityStatus>AV</TXA.19.DocumentAvailabili tyStatus> <TXA.24.FolderAssignment> <CWE.1></CWE.1> </TXA.24.FolderAssignment> This causes ',,,|AV||' to be output instead of the expected '...|AV'.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: Users of IBM Integration Bus v9.0 and v10.0 using DFDL schemas for HL7 and setting HL7 fields to empty string. Platforms affected: z/OS, MultiPlatform **************************************************************** PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When serializing HL7 messages using DFDL, any separators for 'potentially trailing' (see DFDL 1.0 spec) elements should be suppressed and should not appear in the output. However such separators are not being suppressed if a 'potentially trailing' simple element is missing from the infoset but is followed by another 'potentially trailing' element which is in the infoset but is empty. This is shown in the example below which uses a TXA segment. All the elements after TXA.19 are 'potentially trailing'. TXA.20 is simple and missing. TXA.24 is empty. <TXA.19.DocumentAvailabilityStatus>AV</TXA.19.DocumentAvailabili tyStatus> <TXA.24.FolderAssignment> <CWE.1></CWE.1> </TXA.24.FolderAssignment> This causes '...|AV||' to be output instead of the expected '...|AV'.
