Leading zeros in HIPAA compliance maps [EDI 4.2]

The -clz switch flags leading zeros in numeric X12 fields as an error on HIPAA compliance maps.

ECRTP flags an error if leading zeros are not used to meet the minimum length requirement of that particular element. If the leading zeros are necessary to meet the minimum length of the element, no error is generated. This switch does not check leading zeros on noncompliance maps.
