Properties   Methods   Events   Configuration Settings   Errors  

The Check21 class is used to construct a file containing scanned images of paper checks, and optionally upload it to an FTPS server.

Syntax

inpay.Check21

Remarks

An X9.37 file created by this class will contain the following records:

  • File Header Record (1)
  • Cash Letter Header Record (1)
  • Bundle Header Record (1)
  • Check detail record structure (0 to Checks.Count), which contains:
    • Check Detail Record (1)
    • Check Detail Addenda A (1)
    • Front Image View Detail Record (0 or 1)
    • Front Image View Data Record (0 or 1)
    • Back Image View Detail Record (0 or 1)
    • Back Image View Data Record (0 or 1)
  • Bundle Control Record (1)
  • Cash Letter Control Record (1)
  • File Control Record (1)

This class makes creating the above file very easy. First set the Origin fields with information about the institution that is originating this file, and the destination it is to be deposited to. Also set the ReturnRoutingNumber.

  Check21.Origin.OriginName = "First Bank of Thor"
  Check21.Origin.RoutingNumber = "111012822"
  Check21.Origin.ContactName = "Jake Olsen"
  Check21.Origin.ContactPhone = "800-555-5555"
  Check21.DestinationRoutingNumber = "051000321"
  Check21.DestinationName = "First Bank of Loki"
  Check21.ReturnRoutingNumber = "111012822"
This file must be differentiated from other files, so now set the CashLetterId and CycleNumber properties, as well as the Filename. (Alternatively Filename may be left empty, and the class will write the file to memory and store it in the FileData property).


  Check21.CashLetterId = "123456"
  Check21.CycleNumber = "01"
  Check21.Filename = "sample_output.dat"
This file is going to contain scanned images of paper checks, so RecordType should be set to rtChecksAndImages and make sure the DocumentationType is set to a compatible value ("G" through "J" are valid when RecordType is rtChecksAndImages).
  Check21.RecordType = rtChecksAndImages
  Check21.DocumentationType = "G"
This sample file is to contain only one check, but a real file may contain any number of checks. To add a check, create a new CheckDetail object and fill the fields with information read off the check's MICR line, as well as the Payee's name and the amount of the check.
  CheckDetail check = new CheckDetail()
  check.MICROnUs = "1234567890101" ' Account number on the check
  check.MICRRoutingNumber = "902113700"
  check.Amount = "50000" ' $500.00
  check.SequenceNumber = "407" 
  check.PayeeName = "Bruce Banner"
Then set information about the Bank of First Deposit. This may be identical to the Origin. The BOFDConversionIndicator should also be set to "2" if this bank converted the original check into the image being included.
  check.BOFDRoutingNumber = "111012822"
  check.BOFDAccountNumber = "181818181818181818"
  check.BOFDBranch = "Asgard"  
  check.BOFDConversionIndicator = "2"
Finally, you must include images of the front and back of the check, and indicate the format and compression used to create those images. You may use FrontImageFilename and BackImageFilename fields to point to image files on disk, or you may set the binary data directly in FrontImageData and BackImageData. You also need to set a unique identifier that can be used to retrieve the images at a later date.
  check.ImageFormat = ifTIFF ' default
  check.ImageCompression = icJPEG ' default
  check.CanRecreateImages = True ' default
  check.FrontImageFilename = "front.jpg"
  check.FrontImageReferenceKey = "72234215front"
  check.BackImageFilename = "back.jpg"
  check.BackImageReferenceKey = "72234215back"
Finally add the check image to the class's Checks collection.
  Check21.Checks.Add(check)
Now call BuildFile to build the file and save it to the Filename you indicated earlier. If you have an FTPS server (TLS/SSL-secured FTP) to upload the files to, you may set the FTP fields and call BuildAndUploadFile method instead.
