Wrong parsing of delimited text file

I have a pipe delimited string such as ABC||123

As you can see the 2nd value is empty, I tried using all the parsing bsfns in JDE but it looks like it skips the 2nd value. I expect to get back NULL or empty

So here's what I expect

Index  Value

0         ABC

1         NULL or empty

2         123

But right now this is what I got which is WRONG

Index  Value

0         ABC

1        123

Do you have any ideas?

Thanks
