Your message is tagged as version 2.2. In that version PID.37 and 38 did not exist. I suppose HAPI interprets those fields as datatype VARIES. For this kind of Datatype hapi cannot know the type of data the sub-fields will contain and so it writes "UNKNOWN".
To add those fields to Version 2.2 you will need to modify the HAPI classes. Fabio Yu Gu wrote: > Hi, I simulated the example in Hapi website to convert ER7 to XML.
