As part of the schema creation process, a delimited file is created that contains all of the EDI identifier values for reference when mapping in MQSI, e-Biz Integrator or e-Biz 2000.
If the schema is being created from a standard distributed in ECMap, the file contains two record types and there is only one table defined for each element number regardless of how many times it is used in a transaction:
"A","Element Number" "C","Value","Description"
which looks like:
"A","355"” "C","01","Actual Pounds" "C","02","Statute Mile" "C","03","Seconds" "C","04","Small Spray" ...
If the schema is being created from a standard created from an implementation guide, the file contains two records, and there are many occurrences of the element number based on which segment the element appears in. Implementation Guides are very specific on which values are valid in specific instances of a segment. A global list provides no added value in this circumstance.
"B","Element Number","Record Type” "C","Value","Description"
which looks like:
"B","355","MEA_19" "C","01","Actual Pounds" "C","50","Actual Kilograms" "C","51","Actual Tonnes" ...
