EDIFACTReader Component

Properties   Methods   Events   Config Settings   Errors  

The EDIFACTReader component efficiently parses complete EDIFACT transmissions, providing a convenient way to extract and explore data from all included messages.

Syntax

TedEDIFACTReader

Remarks

The component allows you to parse an incoming EDI document. To parse a document, first, use LoadSchema to load a schema file into the component. Next, select the document you want to process by setting InputFile or InputData and calling Parse.

As the component processes the document, its events will fire and the contents of the document will be available in the Interchange, FunctionalGroup, Message, Segment, Element, and Component properties. The corresponding *Index properties can be thought of as a path within the document. For example, setting the MessageIndex property will cause the SegmentCount property to be updated with the number of segments within the selected message, and then the SegmentIndex property can be used to select one of the segments within that message.

To manage the amount of memory used during processing, the BuildDOM property can be used to select how much of the message will be available in the properties at once:

• bdEntireDocument - The entire document will be available at once.
• bdInterchange - Only the current interchange and its contents will be available.
• bdMessage - Only the current message will be available.
• bdNone - Only the current segment and its elements will be available.

During parsing, the component performs basic validation of the incoming document. If an error is encountered, the ValidateWarning event will fire.

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the component, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY, you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE"), where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).

To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.

For a simple element the path should include the path to a specific iteration of a group (as in the Group property), followed by a segment tag and an index for the element position within the segment, each separated by a ".":

reader.GetElementValue("CPSGroup[2].LINGroup[2].LIN.1");

When selecting a component of a composite element, the component index should be added after the element index:

reader.GetElementValue("CPSGroup[2].LINGroup[2].QTY.1.2");

Loads schema information from a file or string data.

Syntax

procedure LoadSchema(fileOrData: String; messageName: String);

Remarks
