Validating the Interchange (ISA) and Group (GS) control number sequence [EDI 4.2]

The -sc switch validates the sequence of the Interchange (ISA) and Group (GS) control numbers.

If you use this switch, ECRTP checks the current control number against the trading partner database to validate the entry. If the entry in the file is not the next sequential entry, ECRTP reports an error.

Command line syntax

The syntax for this switch is:

-sc

Validating ISA and GS control sequence numbers in Windows

Open the Run Inbound Map window.
Click the Option 2 tab.
Select Validate Control Number Sequence.

The Validate Control Number Sequence option in the Option 2 tab of the ECMAP Run Inbound Map window is disabled when you select the No Control Number Updates option, as no validation can occur if no control numbers are being updated, and vice versa.

The same holds true for the corresponding command line switches, -sc and -cn. The -sc switch cannot be used concurrently with the -cn switch. See “Controlling updates and lookups for control numbers [EBF 4.2.4]”.

If you do not use -cn and -sc on the command line or if you do not select No Control Number Updates and Validate Control Number Sequence in Windows, the control numbers are updated to the database but are not validated.
