How to make readers without input not throw an error ?

Hi,

I'm attempting to run a workspace that calls other workspaces (on an FME Server), collecting and passing a list of path names as input to the detail workspaces' readers.

When no path names are available for a specific reader (they're read from a db table), a blank string is passed. This however yields an error (when the reader apparently tries to open a file with a blank name), crashing the whole workspace.

Is there any way of disabling one or more readers based on a blank input ?

If not, Safe, this is an enhancement suggestion !!!

Cheers
