 Highlights

placeholdergif placeholdergif

The Information Exchange asynchronous communication interface, Expedite/Async Version 1, Release 1 (1.1), has been updated to allow for the use of private and organizational alias tables when sending EDI data. All command defaults remain the same in order to maintain the methods of processing inherent in the current Expedite/Async 1.1.

This update is planned for availability beginning on September 16, 2001.

Migration Consideration

All Information Exchange customers using Expedite/Async communication interface will have access to the new function.

Private and Organizational Alias Table Support

Previously, when sending EDI data, if any part of an alias destination was specified on the +SEND command, all three alias destination values had to be provided and the data was treated as non-EDI data. If all three alias destination values are provided on the +SEND command, the data is still treated as non-EDI data. However, now when an incomplete alias specification is provided, the missing values will be determined from the EDI data header, and the data will be treated as EDI data.

When the alias table type is not specified, it defaults to G, and the Information Exchange global alias tables are used.

When the alias table ID is not specified, it is determined as follows:

For X12 and EDIFACT data, when only the alias table type is specified, the alias table name is XNN where X represents the EDI data type and NN is the EDI receiver ID qualifier. For X12 data, the X value is X, and for EDIFACT data, the X value is E. Also, for EDIFACT data, only the first two characters of the receiver ID qualifier are used for the NN value. For UCS data, the table ID defaults to UCS. For UNTDI data, the table ID defaults to UTD.

When an alias name is not specified, up to the first 16 bytes of the EDI receiver ID from the EDI data header is used as the alias name.

The format of the +SEND command is as follows:

+SEND

{{{ SYSID(sys) } DESTACCT(account) DESTUID(userid) } |

{ LIST(listname) } |

{ ALSTBLTYP(tbltype) ALSTBLID(tblid) ALSNAME(aliasname)} |
{ ALSTBLTYP(tbltype) ALSTBLID(tblid) } |
{ ALSTBLTYP(tbltype) } |
{ ALSTBLID(tblid) } |
{ ALSNAME(aliasname)}

{USERCLASS(userclass) }
{MSGNAME(msgname) }
{MSGSEQN(msgseqn) }
{MSGCLASS(blank|P|I) }
{MSGCHRG(1|2|3|4|5|6) }
{ACK(blank|R|D|B|A|C|E|F) }
{BINARY(blank|Y|N) }
{PROTOCOL(XMODEM|1KXMODEM|YMODEM|ZMODEM)}
{DELIMITER(blank|CRLF) }
{FILENAME(filename) }
{FILELOC(fileloc) }
;
