How to create CSR files with no resources

I'm sure this will be a simple thing. In the old (and I mean old) release 4.3 of CIMS you could create output CSR files that have no resources assigned. We do this for a current date and date period from an external collector. This was run with the WSF ProcConvEngine script.
I have been unable to duplicate that effort with the integrator and CSROutput.
Is there a parameter that I have not found that will enable this, or should I be using a different method.
Thanks,
John

John,

Check out the keepZeroValueResources="true" parameter on the CSROutput or CSRPlusOutput stages; I think this feature was added with v7.1.2

Thanks for the quick response. I tried that parameter and it seems to apply to resources that have been assigned but have a zero value, normally ignored and not output.
The input is from a database query with Integrator and collectorinput. I'm having issues with outputfield 'name' that is greater than 8 characters, the old way, v4.3 (CIMS) allowed identifiers/resources with names longer than 8 characters. If I can't find this there will be a signifacantly amount of rewrite on the feeder side of things.
When you code Outputfield with name greater than 8 bytes, everything is OK, with resource="yes" then the 'name' can't be longer than 8 bytes.
