Remarks

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

As the class 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 class performs basic validation of the incoming document. If an error is encountered, the ValidateWarning event will fire.

AckType Property (EDISDK_X12Reader Class)

Specifies the type of ACK that will be generated by GenerateAck .

Object Oriented Interface

public function getAckType();
public function setAckType($value);

Procedural Interface

edisdk_x12reader_get($res, 1 );
edisdk_x12reader_set($res, 1, $value );

Possible Values

X12READER_ACKTYPE_997(0), 
X12READER_ACKTYPE_999(1),
X12READER_ACKTYPE_TA1(2)

Default Value

0

Remarks

This setting specifies the type of ACK that will be generated when GenerateAck is called. Options include:

997 Functional Acknowledgement (at997 - 0)A 997 functional acknowledgement. If any syntax errors are encountered when parsing the data, the response will indicate the details of the issue.
999 Implementation Acknowledgement (at999 - 0)A 999 implementation acknowledgement. This ACK replaces a 997 ACK when in a healthcare setting, and can also report issues with standards such as HIPAA compliance.
TA1 Interchange Acknowledgement (atTA1 - 0)A TA1 technical acknowledgement, which confirms the ISA header and IEA footer are valid but does not report on the processing of the contents.

This property is not available at design time.

Data Type

Integer

BuildDOM Property (EDISDK_X12Reader Class)

Specifies how much of the current document should be held in memory.

Object Oriented Interface

public function getBuildDOM();
public function setBuildDOM($value);

Procedural Interface

edisdk_x12reader_get($res, 2 );

Possible Values

X12READER_BUILDDOM_ENTIRE_DOCUMENT(0), 
X12READER_BUILDDOM_INTERCHANGE(1),
X12READER_BUILDDOM_TRAN_SET(2),
X12READER_BUILDDOM_NONE(3)

Default Value

0

Remarks

Set BuildDOM to bdEntireDocument (0) when you need to browse the current document.

Use bdInterchange (1) when parsing large documents to tell the component to only hold an internal object model of the current Interchange being parsed. When this value is used, and a new Interchange is encountered during parsing, the old interchange is cleared from memory. If the input contains a single Interchange, this is equivalent to using bdEntireDocument.

Use bdTranSet (2) when parsing large documents to tell the component to only hold an internal object model of the current transaction being parsed. When this value is used, and a new transaction is encountered during parsing, the old transaction is cleared from memory.

A value of bdNone (3) will tell the component to not save any internal state of the document being parsed, and thus browsing will be unavailable.

This property is not available at design time.

reader.GetElementValue("N1Loop[2].N4.4");
