Table A-5 contains optional parameters can be used for outbound runs only.

**Table A-5: Outbound-only optional parameters**
Parameter	Description
-a	Updates the ISA Out control count field only in the All TradePartner record (customer number = 0) when the interchange envelopes are built.
-db	Does not delete outbound temporary files created when processing multiple files (in other words, when the map is set by the user to separate one input file into several input files). These files are not deleted and can be used to diagnose map flow problems. Use this switch when debugging.
-dw directory	Uses the named directory as the location of the wixset.dat company file.
-ei full-path filename	Uses the named file name instead of the input application file name embedded in the map.
-kf	Splits files into multiple files only once when processing multiple files (when the map is set by the user to separate one input file into several input files).
-mo full-path filename	Uses stdout in place of the named file imbedded in the map.
-ne	Does not produce an outbound EDI file.
-nt	Does not perform trading partner lookup—Uses the map passed in on the command line.
-ol	Triggers a series of lookups against the trading partner database when the ECMAP/EC Gateway log is used as input. If a trading partner match is found, ECRTP uses the entry to populate the EDI envelope.
-pe	Pads alphanumeric fields with trailing spaces if those spaces are required to meet the minimum length of the element. Numeric fields are padded with leading 0s if those 0s are required to meet the minimum length of the element. This switch is an optional replacement for `PADEDI` environmental variable.
-s3 value	Uses the specified value to create the optional ST03 element on outbound X12 EDI transactions.
-td directory	Writes temporary split files to the named directory. Temporary split files (pfs.*) are created when the Multiple Files option is selected, when the map is set by the user to separate one input file into several input files. If this switch is not set, the temporary files are written to the current directory. In earlier versions, temporary files were written to the root directory.
-u	Does not write EDIFACT UNB and UNG segments.
-xmo	Uses stdout in place of the EDI file during map execution.
