Error description
When receiving messages created using a Copybook schema that uses DEPENDING ON structure, an additional field is shown at the end of the message as "Unexpected". The data fields are received correctly and some of the data appears again at the end. Tests and stubs function correctly but the Message Difference window will display the Unexpected field. STEPS TO REPRODUCE: Import a Copybook schema containing the DEPENDING ON instruction. Create a test to read a file using this schema. Run the test. Click on the Subscribe entry in the test console to launch the Message Difference window. View the Actual Message. EXPECTED RESULTS: The message is displayed correctly. ACTUAL RESULTS: The message is displayed in full with an Unexpected field at the end containing a repeat of the data.
