Validating EDI Data
EDIValidator allows you to validate EDI data from a string of EDI text using the EDIDataString property. A valid validation rules data is also required. Please see our programming examples.
Example
const edi = require(‘rdpcrystal-edi-library’);
//Create a validator instance
let validator = new edi.EDIValidator();
//Set the validation rules data
//Validation rules are found in the RDPCrystalInstallationValidation Rules directory
validator.EDIRulesFileData = “Add your validation rules data here–see our ‘validatedocument’ programming example”;
//Validate and also load the data into memory
validator.LoadValidatedData = true;
validator.EDIDataString = “ISA*00*……….*01*SECRET….*ZZ*SUBMITTERS.ID..*ZZ*RECEIVERS.ID…*030101*1253*^*00501*000000905*1*T*:~” +
“GS*Hk*SENDER CODE*RECEIVERCODE*19991231*0802*1*X*005010X279A1~” +
“ST*271*1234*005010X279A1~” +
“BHT*0022*13*10001234*20060501*1319~” +

validator.validate();
//Get all errors from the EDI data
for (let i = 0; i < validator.Errors.Count; i++) {
let error = validator.Errors.getItem(i);
console.log(
{
Type: “Error”,
Line: error.LineNumber,
Transaction: “”,
SnipLevel: error.SnipLevel, //SnipTestLevel Enum
Message: error.Message, //EDIValidationMessage Enum
Loop: error.Loop,
Segment: error.Segment,
