| ediDataSegment. Area |
Returns the area number of the data segment.
Syntax:
Remarks:
Area numbers are relevant only within the context of a transaction set/message of an EDI document.
All data segments within a transaction set/messate are divided into discrete areas represented by numbers 1 or greater. All data segment that fall outside the transaction set/message (e.g. control segments ISA, GS, etc.) have an area number of zero.
Commonly, the transaction set/message is divided into 3 areas: the header, the detail and the summary area, which are numerically represented as 1, 2 and 3 respectively. Not all documents have all three sectioned areas. If there is only one area in the transaction set/message then all data segments are defined under area 1.
Note that a data segment in a transaction set/message can be uniquely identified by its Area, LoopSection and its segment ID properties.
Example
Dim oEdiDoc As Fredi.ediDocument
Dim oSegment As Fredi.ediDataSegment
...Set oSegment = oEdiDoc.FirstDataSegment
While Not oSegment Is Nothing
sSegmentID = oSegment.ID
sLoopSection = oSegment.LoopSection
nArea = oSegment.AreaIf nArea = 2 Then
If sLoopSection = "LX;N1" Then
If sSegmentID = "N1" Then
txtCompanyName.Text = oSegment.DataElementValue(2)
txtCompanyID.Text = oSegment.DataElementValue(4)
End If
End If
ElseIf nArea = 3 Then
If sLoopSection = "" Then
If sSegmentID = "BIN" Then
Set oDataElement = oSegment.DataElement(2)
oDataElement.ExportValue sPath & "EXported" & txtPublicKey.Text
ElseIf sSegmentID = "ERI" Then
txtMethodSend.Text = oSegment.DataElementValue(2)
End If
End If
End If
Set oSegment = oSegment.Next
