Remove Object Variable from a Composite Element

To remove an object variable that references a composite element, take the following steps:

  1. Expand the composite element node containing the object variable.
  2. Highlight the object variable to remove, and then right click.
  3. In the popup menu, select the option "Remove Object Variable".

The following steps demonstrates how to remove an object variable from a Composite Element reference.  For example, the object variable with the name "UnitMeasureInfo" will be removed from the Composite Element C001 (Composite Unit of Measure) with ordinal 4 in the Data Segment MEA (Measurements).  The MEA segment, in turn has ordinal number 22 in the ASC/X12 Transaction Set 850.

  1. Expand the "Object Variables" branch under the Composite Element reference where the object variable is to be removed from.  Then find the object variable name in the list.

     

  2. Highlight the object variable name, and then right click to display the popup menu.  In the example, the variable name "UnitMeasureInfo" has been selected.

     

  3. Select "Remove Object Variable" from the popup menu option to delete the object variable.

     

  4. A dialog-box will be displayed to confirm if the object variable should really be removed.  NOTE:  Removing an object variable cannot be undone once it has been successfully executed.

    Click the button "Yes" to remove the object variable; otherwise click on "No".

     

  5. After successfully removing the object variable, the variable name will no longer be displayed in the "Object Variables" list.  In the example, the variable name "UnitMeasureInfo" was deleted and is no longer in the list.

     

  6. The Object Variable Table will also show that the variable name has been removed from the table.
