Error 12309

The CONDITIONAL rule syntax for data segment <segment ID> has been violated.  The data element in position(s) <element position> must contain data.

 

Description

Syntax rule (also known as relational conditions) allows the presence of data in a data element based on the presence of other data in other data elements in the same data segment or composite element.  The CONDITIONAL rule has the following syntax:

 

      C<elements list>

 

This states that if the first element in <elements list> contains data then the rest of the elements following it must also contain data.

 

Example,

 

      C030102           // if 03 has data, 01 and 02 must have data.

 

If this condition is not met then this error is generated.
