You perform code-related actions in the standards library from either the Full Code List or the Implementation Code List window. Even in the library, a code list is always related to a specific element.
Accessing the full code list or the implementation
code list
Highlight an element
Choose Full Code List or Implementation Code List from the Code List menu on the <transaction set> window.
The Full Code List or Implementation Code List window displays.
There are four menu options on both list windows:
File
Edit
Reports
Help
From either window, you can add a code, modify a code, delete a code, or search for a code for a specific element in the library or create a code-related report.
On the <transaction set> window, you can change to the table view of the standards library. (The Full Code Lists windows are used as examples in the following explanation of code-related actions.)
Adding a new code to the
full code or implementation code list
Highlight the element on the <transaction set> window.
On either the Full Code List or the Implementation Code List window, choose New from the File menu.
Adding codes to the library is different from adding
transactions, segments, and elements, because codes are always added
for a specific element, whereas transactions, segments, and elements
can be added to the standards library in general.
Either the New Element Code or the New Implementation Code window displays.
Enter the following information on the New Element Code/New Implementation Code window:
Element – the number and description of the EDI element to which you are adding a code.
Code – the EDI element code you are adding to the element.
Select Next to add another code or OK to return to the Full Code List or the Implementation Code List window.
Modifying code in the full
code or implementation code list
Highlight the element on the <transaction set> window.
Select a code and choose Properties from the Edit menu on the Full Code List or the Implementation Code List window. Either the Element Code Properties or the Implementation Code Properties window displays.
On the Element Code Properties or the Implementation Code Properties window, you can change the following information:
Element – the number and description of the EDI element to which you are adding a code.
Code – the EDI element code you are adding to the element.
Select Next to modify another code or OK to return to the Full Code List or the Implementation Code List window.
Deleting code from the
full code or implementation code list
Highlight the element on the Elements tab of <transaction set> window.
Select a code and choose Delete from the Edit menu on the Full Code List or the Implementation Code List window.
When you choose Delete, the program asks you to confirm that you want to delete the code before it is permanently removed. If you select
Yes – the code is permanently removed from the selected element in the library, and you return to the <transaction set> window.
No – the code is not deleted, and you return to the Full Code List or the Implementation Code List window.
Finding code in the full
code or implementation code list
Choose Find or Find Next from the Edit menu on Full Code List or the Implementation Code List window. The Find dialog box displays.
In the Find dialog box:
Enter the text you want to find
Select Find to search for the first occurrence of the text
Select Find Next to search for additional occurrences.
Select Cancel to return to the Full Code List or the Implementation Code List window.
Changing to the transaction
table view of the standards library
Choose Standard Table from the View menu on the <transaction set> window. When you change views, you automatically exit from the library and must reenter in the new view.
Producing a code-related
report
You can produce one report from either the Full Code List tab or the Implementation Code List window. The Element Values report includes detailed information about the values in the elements in the full code list. See the Reports chapter for an explanation of this report.
