Specifying map name extensions [EDI 4.2]

In ECRTP version 4.2, for inbound and outbound maps, the -mn switch passes the map name extension as part of a command line argument. A Map Name Extension option has been added to the RunMap and Trade Agreement windows.

The map name extension works with other map lookup fields to find a correct map by allowing you to specify an additional identifier to distinguish multiple maps for the same transaction within a single trade agreement. This supports the need for multiple 287 and 837 HIPAA transactions.

For map functions with multiple parameters, such as LOADMAP, find the correct map name by using current map lookup fields and the map name extension before calling the functions.

Applies to
