ediDocument. CreateInterconnectMailbag

Creates an InterconnectMailbag object.

Syntax:

Set oMailbag  = object. CreateInterconnectMailbag (<sAgency>, <sVersionString>)

Parameters:

• sAgency – The controlling agency for which this Interconnect Mailbag is to be created.
• sVersionString - The version/release/industry of the standard on which this interconnect mailbag is to be based.

Returns

If successful a FREDI.ediInterconnectMailbag object is returned, otherwise an empty object is returned.

Controlling Agency:

• ASC/X12

Remarks

Only ASC/X12 currently supports Interconnect Mailbag, so the only valid values for the <sAgency> parameter is:

• “X” for ASC/X12

For the <sVersionString> parameter, the version in the implementation that is loaded, or the supported versions in the standard reference, are valid.  The format of the version string is <Version><Release><Industry>.

When the version string is specified as a single string, then the string is understood to be formatted in the following way: VVVRRRN..N.  Where “VVV” is the version, “RRR” is the release and N..N is the industry as in the example “004020X091”.  The version, release and industry can also be separated to distinctly specify each information as in the example “004 020 X091”.

The version/release/industry information here must match the version/release/industry information in the implementation guideline that one expects the interconnect mailbag to be based on.
