Framework EDI Reference. eFileManager Utility
Open Document Options

The Open Options contain optional settings for reading the document.

  1.  The following is displayed.

  2. Enter or select the following optional features that will be used when reading the document.

    • Stop process on Errors.  List of all error codes that stops the eFileManager from continuing to read the file when the error is encountered.  Errors that are generated are listed in the lower portion of the eFileManager.  They all have a corresponding error number that uniquely identifies them. 
        
    • Suppress Errors.  List of all error codes that should be suppressed.  List all the error codes, separated by a semi-colon for all errors that SHOULD NOT be displayed by the eFileManager.  Example, "1234;5678;4321" specifies that if errors 1234, 5678 or 4321 are generated during the course of reading the document, they nevertheless should not be displayed.
    • Ignore undefined Transaction Set/Message.  Ignore ASC/X12 transaction sets or UN/EDIFACT messages in the file that have identifiers not defined in any implementation guidelines.  If this setting is not set, eFileManager will stop reading the file and generate an error as seen as it comes across a transaction set or message identifier that has not been defined.
    • Stop on all warnings.  Stops reading the document whenever any type of error occurs.
    • Verify Codes.  By default, the eFileManager does not include codes in its validation.  Set this option, if you wish the eFileManager to validate codes as well.
    • Verify Relation Condition.  Set this option if you wish the eFileManager to verify the relational conditions between data elements. (e.g. element 'b' is mandatory if element 'c' exists).
    • Strip LineFeed.  This option ignores all carriage return/line feed characters in the EDI file when it is being opened.
    • Use delimiters.  Use this option if you suspect that the eFileManager did not detect the terminators correctly when it opened the EDI X12 file. When this option is selected, the characters entered in the terminator fields in the eFileManager Properties dialog boxes are used as the terminators when opening up an X12 file.
    • Enforce User Requirements.  Set this option if you wish the eFileManager to verify user requirements of data segments and elements. (e.g. a user requirement may specify a mandatory segment to be optional).
    • EDIFACT: Syntax Level A.  Applicable to UN/EDIFACT only.  Indicates that the document to read conforms to having characters sets listed in the Syntax Level A repertoire.
    • EDIFACT: Syntax Level B.  Applicable to UN/EDIFACT only.  Indicates that the document to read conforms to having characters sets listed in the Syntax Level B repertoire.
    • Comment Start String.  Specify the string that starts a comment in the EDI file.
    • Comment End String.  Specify the string that ends a comment in the EDI file.

  3. Press OK or Apply to save the optional settings.  The settings are used the next time the document is opened.
