---------------------------------------
Summary: hexBinary with dfdl:lengthKind delimited should not
require a charset if there are no delimiters
Key: DAFFODIL-2981
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAFFODIL-2981
Project: Daffodil
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Front End
Affects Versions: 3.10.0
Reporter: Mike Beckerle
A DFDL user porting a schema (for IBM SMF) from IBM DFDL to daffodil ran into
this.
As a workaround for the lack of the dfdl:lengthKind 'endOfParent' feature,
often dfdl:lengthKind="delimited" is used, with no delimiters in scope.
When this is the case, there are no delimiters to scan for. If the data is
non-textual like hexBinary, then no character set is needed and it should not
be required.
