[X] Ensure segment creation

The Challenge: We are getting an outbound 856 translation error with the message - 'Document is missing a mandatory LIN Segment group LIN segment group is missing.

I do have the LIN segment mapped to the detail mapping file which is attached so that one LIN loop is created for each primary record of this type.

Records exist in the detail mapping file and match the key structure of the header mapping file.

Any idea what could be causing the LIN segment not to be recognized.

The Analyses: When the first element of the Segment is NOT mapped or is being mapped with a constant or a field NOT coming from the file/record format "record associated" with the loop it is in, the segement is NOT ensured to be created.

The Solution: Make sure that the [X] Ensure Segment Creation box is checked/selected.
