ARGOEDI002 (EDI_FLAT_FILE_IDENTIFY_SEGMENTS_BY_VALUE)

Used for the batch processing mechanism for EDI flat files in N4 that requires either the length or the starting value of segments, such as the header, body, and the footer. The ARGOEDI002 setting specifies the starting keyword for the header, each body segment, and the footer of a flat file separated by a comma.

You must set ARGOEDI002 at the EDI session level. This enables you to use different keywords for each session.

For example, if you set ARGOEDI002 as hhh,bbb,fff, "hhh" represents the start of the header, "bbb" represents the start of each body segment, and "fff" represents the start of the footer.

If the inbound EDI flat file does not have any of the three sections, you must include the keywords for only the sections present in the flat file.

For example, using the above scenario, if the EDI flat file does not have a header or a footer, you must set ARGOEDI002 as bbb.

If you do not set either ARGOEDI002 or ARGOEDI003 (EDI_FLAT_FILE_IDENTIFY_SEGMENTS_BY_LINE) (on page 1) for a session processing flat files, N4 does not use batch processing when executing the session.
