3124.0. "CONTRL message in edi 3.2" by JOBURG::BERETTA () Mon May 12 1997 16:12

    Hi,
    
    (A question from a potential customer)
    In version 3.2 of DEC/EDI (not released yet) what kind of information
    is passed back in the CONTRL message, i.e. is it the document id,
    interchange id etc? Will it be easy for a non technical person to
    identify what happened? In other words using the Business view, would
    there be an easily determined problem identification.
    
    The slide mentions the acknowledgement of
    - interchange
    - functional group
    - message
    
    Syntax checking
    - acceptance or rejection
    - details of any errors
    
    document reconciliation
    
    
    Regards 
    
    Peter.

      The information pass back is the information provided in the 
      enveloping segments; UNB, UNG, and UNH, along with the CONTRL
      message Action and Error codes.  To answer your question, the 
      document id and the interchange Id will be returned.

      When an incoming CONTRL message is processed by the EDIFACT
      Translator, it will produce a 'human readable' report.
      The report will provide the same information as that in the
      CONTRL message.  For all Action and Error codes, their text 
      eqivelent (sp?) will be displayed.

	Not quite sure what is meant by this.  A CONTRL message
	acks an interchange.  Therefore all documents in the 
	interchange will be ack'd; including documents in functional 
	groups.

	Yes.

	Yes.
