Optional

-cu

Checks for unique control numbers within a transaction. Control numbers can now occur in any sequence, as long as they are unique.

If duplicate control numbers are found, ECRTP logs a 6054 error. Use only one of the switches (-as or -cu) for any map run. If both switches are present, ECRTP defaults to the last switch encountered.

If you run an inbound compliance map, choose the “Validate Control Number Sequence" option to add an -sc switch to the command line options.
