Only Basic Date and Time Custom Formats Are Handled by BizTalk Parser (281171)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft BizTalk Server 2000

This article was previously published under Q281171

SYMPTOMS

When you submit a flat file to BizTalk for processing, the message ends up in the Suspended Queue with an Error Description of Parsing Failure. When this occurs, one of the following error messages may be logged into the Application event log:
Event ID: 314
Description:
The "DDDYYYY" date or time format does not match the format of the "3652001" data extracted from the incoming data.
-or-
Event ID: 314
Description:
The "HH:MM:SS:ss" date or time format does not match the format of the "12:01:01:01" data extracted from the incoming data.

CAUSE

The BizTalk Server flat file parser can only parse basic date and time custom formats, which are limited to the MMDDYY Custom date format and the HHMM Custom time format.

MORE INFORMATION

The BizTalk Editor Field Parse tab does allow custom dates to be in 365 days format (for example YYDDD) and custom time to include one hundredth of a second (for example HH:MM:SS:ss) or one thousandth of second (for example HH:MM:SS:sss). These formats are intended for use with custom parsers only (parsers created by a third party), and are not supported by the BizTalk flat file parser.
