3037.0. "Hints to a EDI-partner" by BULAN::sooras-203-0-103.soo.dec.com::kkarlsson () Tue Mar 04 1997 14:36

Hi!
Questions about DEC/EDI from a EDI-partner in Sweden waiting to get on the 
next training event. 
Kjell Karlsson
NSIS Sweden

1. Is it possible to set the interchange reference (UNB/0020) from the 
application file instead of from DEC/EDI?

2. Is it possible to set the message reference (UNH/0062) from the application 
file instead of from DEC/EDI?

3. How does DEC/EDI handle the CONTRL-message (EDIFACT)?
Can DEC/EDI match the incoming CONTRL-message to the interchange that it is 
responding to? What kind of error messages are there?

I would be grateful for quick responses!

Regards, 
Eva Appelqvist, EDIMatrix

    	For DEC/EDI V3.2, there will be support for the CONTRL message.
    
    	There will be support for reconsiliation between the incoming
     	CONTRL message with the messages (interchange) is it responding to.
    
    	I'm not quite sure what you mean by the `kind of error messages'.
    	Are you asking what type of errors (syntax error codes) will be 
    	reported by DEC/EDI in outgoing CONTRL messages?  Or are you
    	asking how incoming CONTRL messages will report errors?
    
    	I'm currently implementing the CONTRL message into V3.2.  I'd
    	appreciate any information (requirements) what customers may need 
    	from DEC/EDI to support the CONTRL message.  Also, the version(s)
    	of the CONTRL message they are thinking of using.
    
    	Current versions of DEC/EDI (Pre-V3.2) do not provide support 
    	for the CONTRL message.  However, there are call-out routines
    	that can be used to provide a very basic level of support.
    	I suggest you contact Finn Christensen.  He has already
    	provided a solution of this type to his customers and he
    	can provide you with the details.
    
    	If Eva Appelqvist would like to contact me directly, she
    	can send email to [email protected]

David...
We've had requests from customers for a couple years
for CONTRL to operate like FAs, and I assume that
is what you meant in .1. They will be pleased.

    > and I assume that is what you meant in .1.
    
    Yes, that is what I meant.  The intent is to
    have EDIFACT/CONTRL work like X12/997.
