How to omit unpopulated segment?

[MikeCrutchfield]

I am trying to omit the 'N2' segment from being written out to an 855 Document file. There is no data for the segment but it writes the line anyway.

DTM*068*20230207~
N1*BT*Bill To Name~
N2*~
N3*Bill To Address~
N4*Bill City***US~
N1*ST*Jane Doe~
N2*~
N3*33 South Sixth Street~
N4*Minneapolis*MN*55402*US~
PO1*1*1*EA*32.92**VN*717NV2IC8A~

I have set the Mandatory attribute flag to false and not declared it at all without success.

		[EdiValue(Path = "N2/0", Description = "N201 - Name", Mandatory = false)]
		public string AdditionalName { get; set; }

		[EdiValue(Path = "N2/0", Description = "N201 - Name")]
		public string AdditionalName { get; set; }

Thanks for any help.

Hi,

In order to omit the segment from your transmission you have to wrap it in a segment decorated class. After that if the property that holds the N1Segment is set to null the serializer will skip it completely.
