Fires whenever a validation warning is encountered.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public event OnWarningHandler OnWarning;

public delegate void OnWarningHandler(object sender, Hl7translatorWarningEventArgs e);

public class Hl7translatorWarningEventArgs : EventArgs {
  public int WarnCode { get; }
  public string Message { get; }
  public int SegmentNumber { get; }
  public string SegmentTag { get; }
  public string TechnicalErrorCode { get; }
  public string SegmentErrorCode { get; }
  public string ElementErrorCode { get; }
  public int ElementPosition { get; }
}

Public Event OnWarning As OnWarningHandler

Public Delegate Sub OnWarningHandler(sender As Object, e As Hl7translatorWarningEventArgs)

Public Class Hl7translatorWarningEventArgs Inherits EventArgs
  Public ReadOnly Property WarnCode As Integer
  Public ReadOnly Property Message As String
  Public ReadOnly Property SegmentNumber As Integer

Remarks

The Warning event will fire during parsing of a segment of an EDI document. The WarnCode parameter contains the type of warning encountered. Message is a textual description of the problem. SegmentNumber is the index of the segment where the problem was found.

SegmentTag holds the tag name of the segment. SegmentErrorCode holds the error code that may be used in the IK304 field of a 999. ElementErrorCode holds the error code that may be used in the IK403 field of a 999. ElementPosition is the position of the element where the error occurred.

It's very important to note that segment validation happens right in the middle of the parsing process. Because of this, the Warning event will usually fire long before the validated segment becomes the current segment for the parser state. This means you cannot access the parser properties to examine the current segment in relation with the Warning event when the event fires.

Possible WarnCode values are:

TechnicalErrorCode holds a technical error code that helps identify structural issues with the document. For instance when parsing an X12 document this will hold values that may be used for TA1 error codes. When parsing X12 documents the following codes are applicable:
