What is EDI?
Getting Started
What is EDI?
EDI is electronic data interchange. Simply, EDI is a method for communicating data at high rates
of speed – from computer to computer. The following descriptions explain the basic requirements
to accomplish communication.
•
Standards
Standards are extremely detailed formats for communicating specific types of
information. Standards are created and agreed upon by various industries and
countries. Standards are not a language. They are a specification for how data is to
be arranged. By using public standards, individual companies can use any
computer system and application and still communicate without confusion.
•
Translation
Translation is the process of taking data that is prepared by your application
programs and placing the data into a public standard, or the reverse process. You
set up translations between application file formats and public standards by a
process called mapping. Sterling Gentran:Basic is the software program that
translates the data to and from standards.
•
Trading Partners
Trading partners are the parties with whom you agree to exchange data, such as
your vendors or suppliers.
To explain how EDI works, we first describe how data is exchanged manually. Then, we describe
how the same data can be electronically exchanged.
Manual Data Exchange
The following example shows how data might be manually exchanged. Notice how many steps it
can take to complete the exchange for purchasing only one pocket protector.
1.
The buyer begins preparing a purchase order (P.O.) form for the pocket protector.
2.
The buyer researches to determine how the manufacturer requires submission of P.O.s for
pocket protectors.
3.
After gathering the data, the buyer translates the order to meet the manufacturer's
requirements.
4.
The buyer incorporates the translated data into the P.O. Then, the buyer mails the P.O.
form to the manufacturer.
5.
After progressing through a mail-sorting process, the P.O. is delivered to the manufacturer.
6.
The manufacturer routes the P.O. for the pocket protector to the proper department(s) for
processing (such as billing, picking, and shipping).
The entire process repeats in reverse when the manufacturer responds with an invoice. With all
conditions being ideal and no errors occurring, the entire exchange can take up to eight business
days. If there are any problems, corrections, or incorrect translations, the process may stretch into
weeks.
IBM Sterling Gentran:Basic for z/OS Release 6.6 User Guide

Getting Started
EDI Terms
Electronic Data Interchange
The following example shows how data might be electronically exchanged. Most of the steps
necessary to purchase one pocket protector automatically occur; thus, reducing processing time
and data-entry errors.
1.
2.
The buyer enters the order for one pocket protector into a computer terminal and an
in-house purchasing system. After initiating the order, the following tasks occur behindthe-scenes:
a.
The in-house application passes the P.O. to Sterling Gentran:Basic.
b.
Sterling Gentran:Basic maps the in-house application format to the appropriate
public standards format.
c.
The standard is verified and transmission envelopes are generated.
d.
An audit trail is created for tracking the document and acknowledgments.
e.
Sterling Gentran:Basic passes the standardized document to the buyer’s
communications system and the document is transmitted to the manufacturer.
The manufacturer receives the document and transmits an acknowledgment of its receipt,
and then processes it.
Even in a reverse situation when the manufacturer sends the buyer an invoice and the buyer
responds with an acknowledgment, a reduction in processing time occurs. In addition, a number of
verifications, confirmations, and detailed records result for both the buyer and the manufacturer.
EDI Terms
The following list provides definitions for basic EDI terms used frequently throughout this guide.
1-6
Application
An in-house program that processes data. Your application file format
is the way your business prefers to view and process data.
Document
One complete piece of data. For example, one purchase order.
Transaction Set
When you translate from your application file format to a public
standard, you are translating your document to a transaction set.
Envelope
An electronic transmission header and trailer that can surround one or
more transaction sets and/or types. For example, one envelope could
contain three purchase orders, four invoices, and six
acknowledgments.
Segment
A single line of a transaction set; for example, the Bill To segment.
Data Element
The individual parts of a segment; for example, Bill To City or Bill To
Postal Code).
IBM Sterling Gentran:Basic for z/OS Release 6.6 User Guide
System Overview
Getting Started
System Overview
Sterling Gentran:Basic is a data translation and management system. It allows you to easily
communicate with your trading partners (those with whom you do business) through electronic
data interchange — EDI. To accomplish this action, you need to provide, through
communications, all your documents in a public standard, and likewise be prepared to interpret
documents sent to you in a defined public standard.
This process might be relatively simple if you deal with only one standard and one trading partner.
However, each industry has specific requirements that must be met, and every trading partner has
different requirements for doing business. These requirements mean that you must be able to
communicate in the appropriate standard, as well as the appropriate version of the standards, for
each trading partner. The task is further complicated by the need to acknowledge the receipt of
documents and monitor data for errors.
The normal operation of Sterling Gentran:Basic can be divided into two types of processing:
inbound processing and outbound processing.

System Overview
Inbound Processing
When your trading partner sends you EDI documents, they are in the format of a public standard.
When your computer system receives an EDI document, Sterling Gentran:Basic goes to work.

IBM Sterling Gentran:Basic for z/OS Release 6.6 User Guide
System Overview
Getting Started
The following steps outline inbound processing from the receipt of transaction sets from a trading
partner to your application file format:
1.
Your trading partner sends you documents in a public standard that you have mutually
agreed upon. You will probably receive these files via telecommunications.
2.
The documents are stored in an EDI input file.
3.
The EDI input file is passed to the inbound Editor. The Editor also uses the following files:
File
Contents of File
Table File
Public standards
Error Message File
Sterling Gentran:Basic error messages
Databanking File
Records of inbound and outbound
activity
Global Parameters File
Overall system operating rules
Partner Profile
Partner-specific operating rules
If the documents are wrapped, they are unwrapped at this point. Unwrapping means each
new segment is aligned to the start of a new record.
The inbound Editor uses the partner profile information for this trading partner to know
what to do (e.g., data separation and error rejection) and how to respond to the inbound
documents (e.g., acknowledgments generated). The Editor checks the EDI data to ensure
that it complies with the standard. If it doesn’t, the Editor creates an error report, and
possibly marks the data, or part of it, for rejection.
4.
The edited data is passed to an Intermediate file. The Databanking file is updated to record
receipt of documents and acknowledgements of previous documents that you transmitted.
5.
The Intermediate file is passed to the Inbound Split program. This program separates the
inbound data according to your criteria and rejects data that does not comply with
standards (as previously marked by the inbound Editor).
6.
The separated data is translated to your application file format, using the maps you have
created in the online Mapping subsystem.

System Overview
Outbound Processing
Outbound processing prepares your application output data for transmission to your trading
partners. Like inbound processing, outbound processing translates your application data to the
chosen standard and checks all data to ensure compliance with the selected public standard.

IBM Sterling Gentran:Basic for z/OS Release 6.6 User Guide
System Overview
Getting Started
These steps outline outbound processing from your application file format to transaction sets for
your trading partner.
1.
The system takes the data from your application output file. Using the maps you created,
Sterling Gentran:Basic translates this data to a public standard.
2.
The system generates the control envelopes necessary for transmitting the data.
3.
The Intermediate file is passed to the outbound Editor. The Editor also uses the following
files:
File
Contents of File
Table File
Public standards
Error Message File
Sterling Gentran:Basic error messages
Databanking File
Records of inbound and outbound
activity
Global Parameters File
Overall system operating rules
Partner Profile
Partner-specific operating rules
Along with this intermediate file, functional acknowledgments created by the inbound
Editor are input for compliance checking and audit updating. The outbound Editor uses
the partner profile information for this trading partner as instructions (such as, standards,
data separation, or error rejection). The Editor ensures that the document complies to the
standard. If it does not comply, the Editor creates an error report and may mark the data for
rejection.
4.
The Databanking file is updated to record transmission of functional acknowledgments
and outbound documents.
After the outbound data has been translated to standard format, it must continue on toward
transmission to the trading partner.
5.
The standard format file is passed to the Outbound Split program. This program divides
the outbound data according to your criteria and rejects data that does not comply with
standards (as previously marked by the outbound Editor).
6.
The separated data is now ready for transmission to your trading partner.

Databank Maintenance
Databank Maintenance
Databank Maintenance provides the online ability to directly control and view application data and
EDI data processed by Sterling Gentran:Basic. Change Audit functions provide complete details of
all online changes made by users to databank data. The Online Log display is also available within
the Databank subsystem for viewing system status and exceptions.
Why Use Databanking?
Benefits derived from using databanking include:
•
Improved data control
•
Reduced number of re-transmissions
•
Improved response to trading partners requirements
Functions of Databanking
Databanking functions fall into four general categories:
•
EDI data-related control and inquiry functions
•
Application document-related control and inquiry functions
•
Change Audit-related inquiry functions
•
Online Log display from which you can monitor system status and exceptions
The Sterling Gentran:Basic Databank facility takes advantage of the proven functions already in
the Sterling Gentran:Basic family of products, while adding functionality that provides flexible
control of documents as they pass through the system. The Databank Facility option, if
implemented, is an integral part of your Sterling Gentran:Basic system.
Note: Using the Databank facility is optional.

Getting Started
Getting Started with Sterling Gentran:Basic
As you are getting ready to install Sterling Gentran:Basic, put together a project team that
understands all the components of the system and how it works in your operation. You will install
Sterling Gentran:Basic and ensure that it is running according to design. We can provide
consultants to train your staff in the use of the parameters to manage the activities of the system.
See the IBM® Sterling Gentran:Basic® for z/OS® Release 6.6 Installation Guide for specific
details on arranging the Sterling Gentran:Basic libraries.
Your responsibilities for installing Sterling Gentran:Basic include the following tasks:
•
Initial loading and testing of the system
•
Daily operation/running of the system, including job control language (JCL)
•
Understanding and setting up a few system parameters
•
Getting data to and from other EDI partners (This action is usually accomplished
with data communications.)
•
Creating and maintaining the maps that translate data from your application file
format to the public standards used in communicating with your trading partners,
and the reverse
•
Defining where the system files reside in your environment
Where Sterling Gentran:Basic Fits Into Your Computer Environment
Sterling Gentran:Basic is designed to be the user interface between your application systems and
your EDI trading partners. The system takes the application files you have defined and translates
them to standard formats, validates them, and prepares them for transmission. The system expects
incoming data from your trading partner to be in a specified public standard that it verifies and
translates to your application file format.
To complete this process, Sterling Gentran:Basic expects incoming data files to have been created
from another source and deposited on your computer. The typical method used to perform this task
is data communication, such as standard RJE (remote job entry), using any acceptable data
communication protocol. However, RJE is not a requirement. Tape transfer of data between
machines (or any other mechanism) for depositing the incoming data on your computer is
acceptable. Sterling Gentran:Basic is not sensitive to the way data is deposited on your computer.
Getting the data to the computer is the responsibility of you and your EDI partners.

Sterling Gentran:Basic Online System Operation Basics
Getting Started
Sterling Gentran:Basic Online System Operation Basics
This section defines the basics of operating the Sterling Gentran:Basic online system. The design
of the online system allows easy access and maintenance of the required information for smooth
communication using EDI. Although there are several system features that have specific
commands and uses, the majority of the system can be operated using a few basic commands.
Logging on to Sterling Gentran:Basic
Sterling Gentran:Basic uses a security system that limits access through the use of User IDs and
passwords. Sterling Gentran:Basic security controls who can use the online system and what
features they may access.
See Chapter 5, “The Administration Subsystem,” for specific information about security.
1.
See your system administrator to receive a Logon ID and password to start the online
Sterling Gentran:Basic system. You also need information on how to access CICS.
The Sterling Gentran:Basic User ID is an identifier, most likely your initials or name. This
ID enables the system to recognize you, determines which features you have access to, and
tracks file changes. The password is a word, including letters and numbers, that prevents
others from logging on to the system using your ID (only you and the system administrator
should know your password). If someone else uses your User ID and password, any
changes that a user makes in a Sterling Gentran:Basic file are attributed to you.

Screen Fields
These fields contain data specific to each screen. Some fields require you to enter information;
others are display-only. Screen fields are located between the screen title and the message line.
Message Line
This line displays Sterling Gentran messages. These messages inform you that an error has
occurred, verify that a function was performed, or supply you with additional information. The
message line is located above the function keys.
Function Keys
Function keys include both standard commands that are common throughout the Sterling Gentran
system, as well as commands that are specific to the current screen. The function key line varies
from screen to screen; only the function keys that are valid for the current screen are displayed.
You will see only function keys for commands that you are allowed to perform. This is maintained
under the Security Maintenance Menu. Each valid program function key and the function it
executes are displayed at the bottom of each screen.
Where function keys are located on your keyboard depends on your keyboard model. In addition,
some keyboards do not have dedicated function keys, and instead require you to press a
combination of keys to perform a function key function.
See your system administrator for information about your hardware configuration and function
key usage.
Action Bar
The action bar is the top line of multi-record screens, such as directory screens. The action bar
displays available actions that you can perform for the current screen. Single-record screens
typically use PF keys to perform desired functions.
Action Code Field
The Action Code field (abbreviated to the A field) is the left-most column of each line item on
multi-record screens. An action code is the first letter of any action listed in the action bar.

Basic File Maintenance Procedures
Getting Started
Basic File Maintenance Procedures
Online file maintenance procedures are the same for all Sterling Gentran:Basic features. File
maintenance consists of these three tasks:
•
Add
•
Update
•
Delete
The following sections describe these tasks in more detail.
Add
The Add command creates a record that did not previously exist. Type the data in the appropriate
screen fields, and press PF9 to process the Add command. The system displays a message
informing you that the record was added. If the system was unable to add a record, or if there are
missing required field data or errors, a warning is displayed. If you exit the screen before you press
PF9 to add the record, the data you entered on the screen is not saved.
Update
When you change an existing record, update the record to apply the changes. The system displays
a message telling you that the record has been updated, or a warning if there were any errors. If
you exit the screen before you press PF10 for Update, the information you entered on the screen is
not saved. To update the file, press PF10 before you exit the screen.
Delete
When you want to delete an existing record from the Sterling Gentran:Basic system, use the Delete
command. You cannot recover a deleted record.
See your system administrator for more information on data recovery.
To delete a file or record, first display the correct record and then press PF11 to delete the file or
record. The system displays a message requesting you to verify that the item you selected is the
item you want to delete by pressing PF11 again. The system displays a message telling you that
the record has been deleted. If you decide not to delete the record, press PF12 for Cancel key. The
cancel feature does not work if you have already confirmed the deletion.
Note: The Databanking feature uses the term delete in a slightly
different manner from the file maintenance delete. In the
online Databank Maintenance, you mark a record for
deletion but it is not physically removed from the file
until the batch Databank Maintenance is run against the
databank file.

Jump Codes
Jump Codes
A jump code is a 10-character alphanumeric field located at the upper left corner of each Sterling
Gentran:Basic screen. This field enables you to move, or jump, directly from one screen to another
while bypassing menus. All screens that are accessible via a Sterling Gentran:Basic menu have
jump code values associated with them. Screens that are accessible only from detail screens do not
have jump code values associated with them.
How to Jump Between Screens
You can jump between screens without having to navigate using the Sterling Gentran:Basic
menus. Use the following procedure to jump between screens:
1.
Press Home.
The insertion point moves to the Jump Code field at the top of the screen to the right of the
screen name.
2.
Type the jump code and press Enter.
See Appendix A for a complete list of jump codes and their associated screens.
Following are some terms and definitions used in this discussion:
1 - 30
Term
Meaning
Subsystem
A set of functionally-related screens that are directly accessible
from the Sterling Gentran Main Menu (Partner Maintenance,
Standards Maintenance, Databank Maintenance, Administrative
Maintenance, Mapping Maintenance)
Navigation
The movement from screen to screen by entering data then
pressing function keys (such as PF1, PF2) or by selecting options
on menus and pressing Enter
Position
The location within a subsystem file (or group of files) that
displays the data (either one record or multiple records) on the
screen
IBM Sterling Gentran:Basic for z/OS Release 6.6 User Guide
Jump Codes
Getting Started
Types of Jump Codes
There are three types of jump codes, which are listed below. These types of jump codes are
described more fully in the paragraphs that follow.
•
Numeric
•
Alphabetic
•
Special character
Numeric Jump Codes
Numeric jump codes consist of numbers separated by periods (.). The numbers in the jump code
correspond to the numbers selected on menus, in the order in which they are selected.
Example
To display the Application Data ID screen, you could navigate using the Sterling Gentran:Basic
menus by performing the following steps:
1.
Type 5 on the Sterling Gentran Main Menu and press Enter.
2.
Type 1 on the Mapping Maintenance Menu and press Enter.
3.
Type 2 on the Application Definition Menu and press Enter.
... OR you could jump directly to the Application Data ID screen by performing these steps:
1.
Press Home.
2.
Type 5.1.2 in the Jump Code field of any screen and press Enter.
See Appendix A for a complete list of jump codes and their associated screens.
Alphabetic Jump Codes
Alphabetic jump codes consist of alphabetic characters separated by periods (.). The alphabetic
code is an abbreviated reference to the screen name or function. For example, to display the
Application Data ID screen using the alphabetic jump code, type APP.DEF or APP.ID in the Jump
Code field of any screen and press Enter.
See Appendix A for a complete list of jump codes and their associated screens.
Special Character Jump Codes
Special character jump codes enable you to perform standard or generic functions with jump
codes. The two special character jump codes are SWAP and EXIT.
•
SWAP enables you to jump between Sterling Gentran:Basic online subsystems
(not within subsystems). When you use jump code SWAP, you jump to the last
screen you jumped from (but not navigated from), from another subsystem. When
you jump from a different subsystem, you reset the SWAP positioning to the
screen you are jumping from.
IBM Sterling Gentran:Basic for z/OS Release 6.6 User Guide
1 - 31
Getting Started
Jump Codes
Example
Let’s say you have the Group Information screen in the Partner subsystem
displayed, and then you display the Transaction Information screen (also in the
Partner subsystem). From here, you jump to the Name and Address screen (again,
in the Partner subsystem). Next, you jump to the Transaction screen in the
Standards subsystem. After you view the information on the Transaction screen,
you type SWAP in the Jump Code field to return to your previous location in the
Partner subsystem. As you expect, SWAP returns you to the Name and Address
screen in the Partner subsystem, because this is the screen from which you jumped
to the Standards subsystem.
•
EXIT (or X) enables you to jump to the Sterling Gentran:Basic Logoff screen.
This feature provides a quick and easy way to exit the Sterling Gentran:Basic
system from any screen.
User-defined Jump Code Table
The User-Defined Jump Code table is a user customization facility that enables you to define your
own jump code values. This facility requires a table that consists of the 10-character user code and
the 10-character Sterling Gentran:Basic jump code. It must be coded in an Assembler table and the
name of the table must be entered on the Configuration file (Record Type 0). An entry for the table
name must be added to your CICS resource definitions.
When you type a jump code, the system verifies that the jump code you entered is valid by first
checking the User-Defined Jump Code table. If you have not defined a User-Defined Jump Code
table, or if the jump code you entered is not in that table, then the system checks the default jump
code table.
For help using the User-Defined Jump Code Table, see member EDIJUMP in the
GENTRAN.V6X6.UTILITY SOURCE LIBRARY.
Jump Code Guidelines
The Sterling Gentran:Basic system keeps independent position information for each subsystem
(Partner, Standards, Databank, Administrative, Mapping), as well as for Sterling Gentran:Basic
add-on products (Plus, Control, Realtime, Viewpoint). The independence of these subsystems
enables you to jump or navigate from subsystem to subsystem without having to re-enter a key for
that screen.
The general rules for using jump codes are the following:
1 - 32
•
You can jump to only screens that are directly accessible through selecting menu
options.
•
You can jump from any screen.
•
Navigating or jumping to the Sterling Gentran:Basic Copyright/Signon screen, or
exiting the Sterling Gentran:Basic system, clears the positions for all subsystems.
•
After you jump from one subsystem to another subsystem, you can return directly
to the screen you jumped from by typing SWAP in the Jump Code field.
IBM Sterling Gentran:Basic for z/OS Release 6.6 User Guide
Jump Codes
Getting Started
•
You cannot use SWAP to jump between screens within the same subsystem.
•
Typing SWAP is the only method by which you can jump to a screen that has no
jump code associated with it, as long as SWAP positioning has been established
by jumping from one subsystem screen to a different subsystem screen.
•
An invalid jump code causes the system to return to the jumped from screen and
display the message Invalid jump code entered.
•
You cannot jump to subsystems that are not installed or for which you do not have
security access. The message Invalid jump — user lacks authority is
displayed on the screen.

What is a Partner Profile?
To successfully facilitate electronic commerce, Sterling Gentran requires specific information
about each trading partner. Whether intra-company or inter-company in nature, all trading partner
relationships are defined and maintained in Sterling Gentran, on the Partner Maintenance
subsystem.
You can choose from two processing methodologies when defining the partner profile: Partner/
Qualifier mode and Relationship mode. The Partner/Qualifier method defines your organization
and each trading partner as separate and distinct entities on the partner profile. This method
permits each trading partner to be used in multiple relationships. With the Relationship method,
you first identify the inter- or intra- business relationships. Then, you define each identified
relationship separately and distinctly on the partner profile. This method is ideal for defining
multiple entities within your organization with shared (common) trading partners. In addition, the
Relationship method provides uniqueness for identification purposes that would not be possible if
the trading partner were defined using the Partner/Qualifier method. Both processing modes can
be selected and maintained through the Configuration subsystem.
The Partner/Qualifier mode creates a loosely coupled relationship between trading partners. One
Partner ID and Qualifier is defined for each trading partner and for each entity within an
organization involved with e-commerce. With the Partner/Qualifier method, relationships are
defined externally to the partner profile during processing.
The Relationship mode creates a closely coupled relationship between trading partners. Each
relationship is uniquely defined on the partner profile in a user/partner format where the User side
always represents your organization and the Partner side always represents your trading partner.
To bridge the transition from EDI Sender ID, EDI Sender ID Qualifier, EDI Receiver ID, and EDI
Receiver ID Qualifier found on your EDI documents to a user/partner key on the partner profile,
Sterling Gentran uses a partner Relationship file. This file is built and maintained online through
CICS.
Note: For the existing Sterling Gentran user who used
Relationship mode in Release 6.0 and who does not want
to expand that usage to the partner profile, a Mixed mode
is available in Release 6.6. In Mixed mode, the partner
profile is configured in Partner/Qualifier mode, and the
databank is set up in Relationship mode.

The Partner Subsystem
Before You Begin
What is in this Chapter?
This chapter explains the menus and screens of the Sterling Gentran:Basic partner profile, which is
accessed through the Partner subsystem. In addition, this chapter describes how to perform the
following functions:
•
Add a new trading partner using either Partner/Qualifier or Relationship mode
•
Copy and rename an existing trading partner
•
Add name, address, and contact information for a trading partner
•
Set up error rejection criteria by trading partner
•
Set up data separation by trading partner
•
Add notes or special instructions to a user defined record by trading partner
•
Define an alias Partner ID and Qualifiers through a partner cross-reference file
•
Define user/partner relationships for a trading partner
•
Define and maintain multiple interchange, group, and transaction sets under a
common trading partner
•
Maintain interchange header, functional groups, and transaction set information
for inbound and outbound processing by trading partner
How to Access the Partner Subsystem
The screen flow is determined by the partner processing mode, Partner/Qualifier or Relationship
mode, selected from Configuration Maintenance.
Note: In the Configuration Maintenance, the On-Line Options –
Record Type 0 (Panel 2 of 3) screen enables you to define
the partner processing mode for the trading partner
profile.
See Chapter 5, “The Administration Subsystem,” for
more information about Configuration Maintenance.
You can display all the screens in the Partner subsystem from the Partner Maintenance Menu.
Perform either of these two actions to display the Partner Maintenance Menu:
2-4
•
From the Sterling Gentran Main Menu, type 1 to select the Partner Maintenance
Menu subsystem.
•
Type 1.0 in the Jump Code field on any screen in Sterling Gentran:Basic.
IBM Sterling Gentran:Basic for z/OS Release 6.6 User Guide
Before You Begin
The Partner Subsystem
Each menu contains a selection field allowing you to type the number of a task selection as listed
on the menu. After typing the task number and pressing Enter, Sterling Gentran displays the
appropriate screen. When you make a menu selection, the system displays screens that prompt you
through the processes available in the Partner Profile Maintenance feature. There are 39 screens
available in the Partner Profile Maintenance feature. Some screens allow you to perform a subtask
and are only accessible from another screen (e.g., Control Information screens). Subtask screens
are not listed on the menus.
When performing partner profile maintenance, consider the following:
1.
There are eight record types that comprise a single trading partner definition on the partner
profile. All screens point to one or more of these records. The order of the record key is
defined by you and consists of the Partner ID and Qualifier (Partner/Qualifier mode) or
user/partner (Relationship) mode. Adding or selecting a particular trading partner can only
be accomplished through the Partner Selection Menu screen. The record key entered on
this screen is used to read (or write) all other record types that make up a trading partner
on the partner profile.
2.
For any hexadecimal conversion fields (e.g., element separators), the system evaluates the
single position alphanumeric field first, then the two position hexadecimal field.
Therefore, any time data is entered in both fields, the system overlays the value entered in
the hexadecimal field with the hexadecimal value of the first alphanumeric field.
3.
Users with Level 1 security have unrestricted file maintenance rights. If you have Level 2
security, you may be allowed to perform additions, updates, and deletions to the trading
partner profile records. The system displays the PF9=Add, PF10=Updt, and PF11=Del
function keys. If you have Level 3 security, you are not able to add, update, or delete
trading partner profile records, and the function keys are not displayed. When adding a
new record, the default value is Y for the Update Flag.
4.
You can view and maintain records only for those trading partners having the same
division code as your own. The system displays all trading partners when the division
code equals 000. Any record that contains a division code of spaces is considered to be a
corporate record, and can be used by more than one division. All users can access these
records.
See the topic “User ID Maintenance Screen” in Chapter 5, “The Administration
Subsystem,” for more information on Division access.
Figure 2.1 and Figure 2.2 illustrate how to navigate through the Partner subsystem for the
Partner/Qualifier and Relationship modes. The labeled boxes represent screens in the subsystem.

Partner Jump Codes
A jump code is a 10-character alphanumeric field located at the upper left corner of each Sterling
Gentran:Basic screen. This field enables you to move, or jump, directly from one screen to
another, within a subsystem, while bypassing menu screens. All screens that are accessible through
a Sterling Gentran:Basic menu have jump codes associated with them. Screens that are accessible
only from detail screens do not have jump codes associated with them.
See Chapter 1, “Getting Started,” for further information on using jump codes.

Copy All Feature
Sterling Gentran:Basic helps prevent you from duplicating and overwriting user records that may
already exist. The Copy All Records feature provides you with the ability to efficiently copy
records from an existing trading partner to a newly added trading partner. From the Partner
Selection Menu, you can add a new Partner Profile ID and copy to it all of the records from an
existing Partner Profile ID.
See the topic “Copy All Records Screen” for more information about the Copy All feature.
Function Key Descriptions

To display a record type for an existing Partner Profile ID, or to begin to create a record type for a
new Partner ID, type the Partner ID and associated Qualifier code for Partner/Qualifier mode or
User and Partner for Relationship mode. Use the Tab key to move the insertion point to the
selection field, type the selection number of the desired record type and press Enter. The system
then displays the selected record type entry screen.

Header Information Screen
EDIM026
Purpose
The Header Information screen enables you to display, update, add, or delete information about a
trading partner. This information is required for all other partner profile maintenance procedures
and screens. The Header Information screen is the first record that you will need to create to add a
new trading partner.
Caution: When you delete the header record for a trading partner,
all other records for this trading partner are deleted as
well.
How to Access
Access the Header Information screen in either of the following ways:
•
Type 1 to select Header Information from the Partner Selection Menu and press
Enter.
•
Type 1.2.1 in the Jump Code field of any screen and press Enter (this functions
only if the Partner ID has been established).
At installation, Sterling Gentran:Basic automatically sets up a default Partner ID. The default
Partner ID contains default Group and Transaction records that are required for each trading
partner. Each time you add a new Partner ID and Control record, the system automatically uses the
default Group and Transaction record templates to create default Group and Transaction records
for the new trading partner. You have the capability to modify the values in the generic default
records to create your own default records. After modification, Sterling Gentran will then use the
values specified in your default records.
Partner/Qualifier Mode
The default Partner ID containing the default Group and Transaction records is:
!!! GENTRAN–RESERVED–PARTNER–ID–1
Relationship Mode
Following is the default Partner Profile ID containing the default Group and Transaction records:
!!! GENTRAN–RU1
!!! GENTRAN–RP1
The default Partner ID can be viewed and modified from the Partner Selection Menu like any other
ID (and associated records).
See the topic “Partner Selection Menu” for information on how to display and change the records
for a specified Partner ID.

See the topic “Using Underscore Substitution Characters” in Chapter 7 for more
information about this feature.
Division (protected, except Division 000)
A 3-position alphanumeric field assigned by the user at the time the partner profile is
added. The default value is 000. Although this field is called Division, it is used for
grouping partners under a common access. That is, access to a trading partner is tied to the
Division code on your Security Profile. Before changing the Division code from 000,
consider how users are organized in respect to adding and updating the partner profile. For
most companies, leaving the Division code as 000 and preventing unauthorized changes
through the Security Profile by access and level is sufficient.
Any record that contains a Division code of spaces is considered to be a corporate record
and can be used by more than one division. All users can access these records.

Multiple Envelope Id
A 3-position alphabetic field used to identify the envelope type for this interchange record
within the partner profile. This field allows a single partner profile to have multiple EDI
standards (e.g., X12, EDIFACT, TRADACOMS) defined under it. It eliminates the need
to create multiple partner profiles for a single trading partner in the event that the partner
uses more than one EDI standard. Valid values include these standards: ISA, ICS, BG,
GS, UNA, UNB, SCH, STX, and spaces.
Version
A 12-position alphanumeric field used when more than one control with the same header
option is needed. This is an optional field in the key and should only be used if multiple
controls with the same header option need to be defined. For example, if you currently run
ISAs with version 004010 and need to test 004020 with the trading partner, you would set
up another ISA control with the version being 004020.
Caution: Setting up partners using the version should only be used
when two like envelopes need to be generated with
different information.
Interchange Header Option (required)
A 3-position alphabetic field identifying the type of interchange envelope to be used for
outbound transactions. The envelope allows you to label an outbound transaction.
standards: ISA, ICS, BG, GS, UNA, UNB, SCH, STX. For example, ISA = the segment
ID for the interchange envelope header segment; GS = the segment ID for group envelope
header segment when an interchange envelope is not used.

Group Information Screen
EDIM030
Purpose
The Group Information screen allows you to identify separate types of processing for various
functional groups. For example, you can verify which groups can be sent or received, or specify
control numbers within a functional group.
The system automatically creates a default group record when you add a new Partner Control
record. If you intend to use the default group record, you should update the record to reflect the
appropriate information for your trading partner. However, we strongly recommend creating a
separate group record for each type of functional group that is sent or received.
How to Access
Access the Group Information screen by doing one of the following:
•
Type S to select a Group ID from the Group Directory and press Enter.
•
Type 1.2.3.1 in the Jump Code field of any screen and press Enter.
Screen Examples
The following examples illustrate the Group Information screen for both Partner/Qualifier and

for a group and sequencing by group is desired. To use this feature, both the Transaction
Segment ID and Message Reference Number must be present. Otherwise, the specific
transaction or !!!DFT record is used.
Message Reference Number
A 14-position numeric field used to define the beginning sequence control number for
generating control envelopes. The system assigns control numbers sequentially, adding
one (1) to the number you type in this field. If you type zero (0), the system assigns 1 as

You can modify this record or use it unchanged. Sterling Gentran also gives you the ability to
modify the default record itself to create a custom default record.
See the topic “Control Information Screen 1” for information on how to modify the default record.
How to Access
Access this screen by pressing PF5 on the Transaction Information screen (screen 1). The

Purpose
The User Defined screen provides you with a place to maintain any additional information you
need on file for a specified trading partner. For example, you might enter record or field definitions
using your own structure, as they relate to the specified trading partner. Or, you could use this
screen to define an alternative personal contact and phone number to be used in case the primary
contact for the specified trading partner cannot be reached. The data residing on this record is left
up to you to define. You can have multiple user-defined records for each trading partner, and can
use your own numbering scheme for each access.
$TCR Record ID is reserved by Sterling Gentran:Basic. This user-defined record provides
transmission control information for generating the $TCR record during envelope generation.

Data Separation Screen EDIM050
Data Separation Screen
EDIM050
Purpose
The Data Separation screen enables you to set up data separation parameters for each inbound and
outbound processing run. Data is separated into a maximum of 899 staging areas for direct
transmission, transmission to networks (if outbound), or 99 staging areas for your different
applications (if inbound). Staged data can be subsequently added to with additional Sterling
Gentran:Basic processing steps. You can have multiple output data separation records for each
trading partner.
Inbound data splitting enables you to separate incoming documents for processing by your
application files. Documents can be separated by functional group, transaction set, by test/
production, or by version. Outbound Data Splitting enables you to separate outgoing data for
transmission to your trading partners. Outbound data can only be separated at the partner level.
Typically, data in outbound split files are run through your communications software.
Only applicable if used with the DIRECTED OUTPUT FILES global parameter.
How to Access
Access the Data Separation screen in either of the following ways:
•
Type 7 to select Data Separation from the Partner Selection Menu and press
Enter.
•
Type 1.2.7 in the Jump Code field of any screen and press Enter.

Partner Cross Reference By X-Ref ID Screen
EDIM008
Purpose
EDI data can have two Partner IDs in the envelopes: one for the interchange-level and a second for
the group-level. Often, these Partner IDs are DUNS numbers, network telephone numbers, access
codes and/or communication IDs. Remembering your trading partners’ numbers (literally
hundreds) can be difficult and confusing for those who have to maintain the file. The Cross
Reference by X-Ref ID screen, which is valid only for Partner/, provides you with the capability to
reduce the number of partner records for each trading partner and assign ONE Partner ID that is
meaningful to you.
How to Access
Access the Cross-Reference by X-Ref ID screen in either of two ways:
•
Type 1 to select Partner Cross Reference by X-Ref ID from the Partner Cross
Reference Menu and press Enter.
•
Type 1.3.1 in the Jump Code field of any screen and press Enter.

What are Standards?
To use EDI effectively, trading partners must use industry-agreed-upon guidelines on what data
they transmit and how that data is arranged. Standards are those guidelines by which trading
partners conduct electronic data interchange (EDI).
Standards, though permanent and uniform, continually evolve to meet changing requirements of
the individuals and organizations that use them. However, even with the evolution of EDI
standards to meet changing needs, occasionally trading partners require unique applications of
these standards. Standards agencies issue updates to standards versions during regular intervals;
they might issue small changes, fixes, and additions intermittently. EDI users need to be able to
respond to these intermittent changes and non-standards communications quickly and easily.
The Sterling Gentran:Basic Standards subsystem has been designed to support the various national
and international EDI Standards, such as, ASC X12, UN/EDIFACT, TRADACOMS, ODETTE,
and GENCOD. Because of conflicts with Version/Release among the various Standards
Controlling Agencies, Sterling Gentran Agency is used along with Version ID to uniquely identify
a standard. The agency is a three position code that represents the Controlling Agency or board
that is responsible for issuing and maintaining the standard. Sterling Gentran uses the following
default agency codes:
X
ASC X12
UN
UN/EDIFACT
A
TRADACOMS
T
TDCC
F
Fixed Format
A sample usage would be ASC X12 and UN/EDIFACT both have a version 002 release 001. The
ASC X12 version is implemented as ‘002001’ with an agency of ‘X.’ The UN/EDIFACT version
is implemented as ‘002001’ with an agency of ‘UN.’
Sterling Gentran encompasses provisions to support subsets and localized standards. These
standards are based on other standards, but have been customized for specific industry or region
usage. The version is 12 positions and is comprised of the version number for three characters,
version release for the characters, and version association for six characters. The version
association identifies the subset. For example, UCS version 003010UCS is a subset of ASC X12
003010. The version association is UCS. EDIFICE version 001921ED3 is a subset of UN/
EDIFACT 001921. The version association is ED3. The controlling agency for these two subsets
are different from the original versions. To identify the agency to Sterling Gentran and maintain
uniqueness for these subsets, the Association file contains a cross-reference between the version
association and agency. The Editors in the standard loading process use this file to determine the
agency. If a version association is present, the association file is read to retrieve the agency. If no
version association is present, the default agency values identified above is used. Any time a
version is added that contains a version association, an appropriate Association/Agency record
must be added via the EDIM105 – Standard Association screen.
3-2
IBM Sterling Gentran:Basic for z/OS Release 6.6 User Guide
Before You Begin
The Standards Subsystem
For our example, an association record is set up for 003010UCS as Association = UCS and
Agency = T, for 001921ED3 as Association = ED3 and Agency = UN. This tells the Editor to use
agency ‘T’ for any version that has a version association of ‘UCS,’ ‘UN’ for any version that has a
version association of ‘ED3.’ The agency to be used for an association should reflect the
controlling agency.
See the topics “Inbound Processing Programs” and “Outbound Processing Programs” in the IBM®
Sterling Gentran:Basic® for z/OS® Release 6.6 Technical Reference Guide for more information
about using agency and association for standard loading in the Editors and Mappers.
Several international standards, such as ODETTE, Brokernet and TRADACOMS include multiple
definitions of segments and elements within the same version. Sterling Gentran:Basic has been
structured to support up to 100 different definitions of a Segment ID or Element ID per version. A
segment version is associated with Segment ID and an element version is associated with Element
ID. The majority of segments and elements use a segment/element version of ‘00.’ If additional
definitions are needed, versions ‘01’ – ‘99’ are available. Sterling Gentran:Basic uses the segment/
element version to identify the correct definition when building maps or compliance editing
interchanges.
Sterling Gentran:Basic supports code lists for code validation in the mappers and compliance
Editors. Four files are used to contain these code values. File 1 contains supported code lists for
elements with a maximum length of 5 or less. File 2 contains supported code lists for elements
with a maximum length of 6 – 10. File 3 contains supported code lists for elements with a
maximum length of 11 – 20. File 4 contains supported code lists for elements with a maximum
length of 21 – 40.
Using the Sterling Gentran:Basic Standards subsystem, your EDI coordinator can:
•
Specify EDI standards transactions for use in data translation.
•
Examine transaction standards, in full detail.
•
Perform interim maintenance to standard transactions.
•
Create special transactions for use in unique trading partner communication.
The Standards subsystem contains all the screens you need to view, add, change, or delete data
relating to EDI standards.

Transaction Directory EDIM121/EDIM122
The Standards Subsystem
Transaction Directory
EDIM121/EDIM122
Purpose
The Transaction Directory lists all transactions for a given version. The system displays as many
as ten transactions on the Transaction Directory at one time. To view additional transactions, press
PF8.
You can type a partial Version ID in the Version ID field then press PF6. The system will start
displaying Transactions for the Version ID with the closest matching Version ID. If you leave the
Starting Trans ID field blank, the list begins with the first transaction for the Version ID on the
standards file.
Two screens exist for transaction directories. The EDIM122 screen displays for TRADACOMS
standards Version IDs and the EDIM121 screen displays for non-TRADACOMS standards
Version IDs.
Difference Between the Two Transaction Directories
The Transaction Directory for TRADACOMS versions functions the same as the nonTRADACOMS Transaction Directory. The difference is the order in which the transactions are
listed.
The non-TRADACOMS Transaction Directory lists transactions in the order in which they are
displayed on the standard Transaction file (e.g., in ascending alphanumeric version order).
The TRADACOMS Transaction Directory lists transactions in logical order within the document,
within ascending numeric release order, within ascending alphanumeric order. This means that a
document’s header transaction is followed by its detail transaction(s), followed by its trailer
transaction.
How to Access
Access the appropriate Transaction Directory in any one of the following ways.
Note: You do not need to indicate whether you need EDIM121
or EDIM122. The system automatically displays the
Transaction Directory, based on the version you select.
•
Type 4 to select Transaction Directory on the Standards Maintenance Menu and
press Enter.
•
Type S to select the appropriate Version ID and press PF2 on the Version
Directory.
•
Type a Version ID on the Version screen and press PF2.
•
Type a transaction code and Version ID on the Transaction screen and press PF4.
•
Type S to select a Version ID on the Version/Transaction screen and press PF4.
•

Conditional Code Maintenance Screen
Purpose
The Segment Element Conditional Code Maintenance screen enables you to view and update
conditional codes for a specified segment element.
Data Element Relational Conditions
Relational conditions can occur between elements, based on the presence or absence of those
elements. The information in the CONDITIONAL AREA identifies to Sterling Gentran:Basic the
condition of the element relationship (e.g., how two or more elements are related), and exactly
which elements are involved. If a data element has more than one relational condition, the order of
the conditional codes is very important.You can specify and update the segment element
conditional codes for a specified segment element in the CONDITIONAL AREA. Relational
conditions are:
•
conditions in which one or more data elements within the same segment are
associated with another one or more data elements, or
•
one or more composite elements within the same group element are associated
with another one or more composite elements.
ASC X12 and EDIFACT use different dependency identifiers. However, Sterling Gentran supports
both types of dependency identifiers.
The following table lists the ASC X12 and EDIFACT equivalency dependency identifiers.

Segment Element EDIM141
The Standards Subsystem
Example – Relational Condition
Let’s say a paired relational condition exists between the third and fourth data elements in a
segment. According to the definition (above) for a paired relational condition, both elements must
be defined in order to have a clear meaning.
To set up the paired relational condition, type P in the Code 1 field in the CONDITIONAL AREA
of the screen, 3 in the Code 2 field, and 4 in the Code 3 field. Typing P in the Code 1 field signifies
to Sterling Gentran:Basic that a paired relationship exists; typing the three-digit numbers in the
Code 2 and Code 3 fields indicates the position of the affected data elements (e.g., segment
sequence number).
Sterling Gentran:Basic creates and reports data element conditional codes using the values in the
Code fields. In the above example, conditional code P00304 is generated.
How to Access
The Segment Element Conditional Code Maintenance screen is a continuation of the Segment
Element screen. Access this screen by typing S to select a segment element from the Segment

What is the Databank?
A databank is a repository for storing document/transaction data and any related control
information. Using the Databank subsystem, you can control and monitor the document/
transaction flow through the Sterling Gentran:Basic system.
What is in this Chapter?
This chapter explains the menus and screens of the Sterling Gentran:Basic Databank Maintenance
subsystem. In addition, this chapter describes how to use the databank maintenance functions.
Databank Facility
The Sterling Gentran:Basic Databank Facility provides a powerful set of capabilities for
controlling and tracking the flow of documents between your EDI-enabled applications and your
EDI trading partners.
The Sterling Gentran:Basic Databank Facility takes advantage of the proven functions already in
the Sterling Gentran:Basic family of products while adding functions that provide flexible control
of documents as they pass through the system. The Databank Facility option, if implemented, is an
integral part of your Sterling Gentran:Basic system, as shown in Figure 4.1.
Use of the Databank Facility is optional.

Feature Summary
The Sterling Gentran:Basic databank provides advanced features for addressing your EDI
requirements.
See the “Features and Functions” figure within this topic for an illustration of the features.
The Databank Facility option provides control and tracking of documents through your EDI
system for a wide range of users.
See the “Databank Facility Users” figure within this topic for an illustration.
The following major features are provided with the Databank Facility option.
•
Flexible Configuration
All of the Databank features are optional. Configuring the various components of the
Databank Facility is defined by the user based on their EDI processing requirements.
For example, one implementation may choose to capture all application and EDI data on
the databank. Another implementation may chose to capture just outbound EDI control
and status information.
If acknowledgment reconciliation is to be part of your implementation then the Outbound
EDI Databank Directory must be used at a minimum. Acknowledgment reconciliation is
reconciling acknowledgments received from your trading partners to outbound documents
that have been sent to those trading partners.
•
Full Processing Concurrency
All processing, including Batch/Online, Mapping/Compliance, and Inbound/Outbound,
can run concurrently.
•
Complete Online Control and Tracking
Immediate control and tracking of both application documents and EDI transactions is
available to you with Databank Maintenance.
With Online Databank Maintenance, the following actions can be performed against your
application and EDI data:
Select (Inquiry)
Delete
Data Edit (optionally restricted at installation)
Manually Acknowledge
Manual Network Status Update
Reset for Reprocessing
•
Complete Online Change Audit Trails
All online updates performed against the databank by users are captured and available for
online inquiry.

Comprehensive Security
Security by User ID and Division can be set up as tightly or loosely as required.
•
Data Archive/Restore Capabilities
Application and EDI data can be archived and restored with the Databank Facility. You
can manage their archives selectively based on flexible selection criteria and/or use the
Housekeeping mode to maintain archives based on retention periods.
•
Duplicate Checking
Application document duplicate checking is performed based on the user defined User
Reference. EDI duplicate checking is also provided using the EDI Envelope Reference
IDs. Processing can be controlled using these duplicate indicators.
•
Distribution and Process Control
Application and/or EDI data can be stored in, and selectively extracted from, the Databank
Facility.
This store and extract capability allows processing to be scheduled based on your business
needs. The store capability allows application and communication scheduling to be set up
independently. The selective extract capability allows application documents and EDI
interchanges to be extracted in the groupings that are required by your applications and
communications.
•
Network Tracking
Network Tracking extends EDI tracking to your networks. Network Tracking reconciles
Network Status information to Interchanges that have been sent. The Online Network
Status information posted to Interchanges is Received by Network, Processed by Network
and Picked Up by Trading Partner.
•
Deferred Enveloping
Deferred Enveloping is an optional feature that can be used to store un-enveloped data on
the outbound EDI databank files throughout the day. This data can then be extracted for
enveloping using a number of criteria, including transaction type, data, time, network,
test-production status, partner, user, and batch run number. These selected transactions can
then be enveloped and transmitted to the trading partner.
This feature provides the following benefits:
•
Application and transmission schedule independence
•
Minimize the number of envelopes
•
Document-level control over mapping and editing errors
•
Document-level control over duplicate documents
•
Establish the maximum number of transactions per envelope

Functions
Actions that can be performed in Databank Maintenance are identified on the first row of each
screen in Databank Maintenance. Valid actions that can be performed from screens within
Databank Maintenance include:
Acknowledge:
Used to manually acknowledge EDI data for which you expect an acknowledgment for
outbound EDI databank.
Delete:
Used to logically delete databank information.
Reset:
Used to reset databank data for reprocessing.
Select:

Note: These actions are described further in the sections that
follow each screen.
User Reference Information
User reference information provides a relationship link between application data and EDI data.
When you need to refer to databank records, user reference information will be helpful in locating
a specific record. You have the option of defining your own user reference information. Creating
an application key when performing application databanking or activating the Audit Indicator flag
for a segment element when performing EDI databanking, can result in user reference information.
During a databank run, Sterling Gentran:Basic generates a sequential default number, referred to
as a Reference Tag, for each transaction. Then, for each transaction, Sterling Gentran looks for an
application key or an active Audit Indicator. If found, Sterling Gentran concatenates the data to the
databank and specifies it as user reference information. If not found, Sterling Gentran uses the
Reference Tag as user reference information.
Sterling Gentran displays “protected” user reference information in the User Reference field on the
following screens:
•
Transaction Status (EDIM253)
•
Transaction Status Detail (EDIM258)
•
Document Status (EDIM263)
•
Change Audit Status Detail (EDIM269)
•
Document Display (EDIM264)
This section explains how to apply user reference information and the process in which Sterling
Gentran performs to populate the User Reference fields. The processes vary for inbound and
outbound, as well as for EDI databanking and application databanking.

The Databank Subsystem
How to Use the Maintenance Functions
Inbound EDI Databanking
For inbound EDI databanking, you can instruct Sterling Gentran to use the value specified for a
segment element as user reference information by activating the Audit Indicator flag for the
element.
Scenario:
Let’s say that you are receiving an 810 (invoice) document and you have entered an elementspecific value for each segment existing in the 810. When you activate the Audit Indicator flag for
the element on the Segment Element (EDIM140) screen, Sterling Gentran will pass the element
value from the application standard to the databank key and use the value as user reference
information.
See the topic “Segment Element Screen” in Chapter 3 for more information.
Sterling Gentran creates a sequential, unique reference number, called a Reference Tag, for each
transaction passing through the databank. The format for the Reference Tag is IEnnnnnnnn. When
an Audit Indicator flag is not specified on the Segment Element screen (EDIM140), Sterling
Gentran uses the Reference Tag number as the User Reference information.
Inbound Application Databanking
On the Application Partner Reference (EDIM555) screen, you can create a user reference key by
entering information that is meaningful to your organization in the Application Key field(s). After
a databank run, Sterling Gentran looks for a user reference key. When Sterling Gentran finds the
key, the data represented in the key is applied as user reference information.
See the topic “Application Partner Reference Screen” in Chapter 3 for more information.

Function Key Descriptions
Note: Standard function keys, such as PF1=Help, PF3=Exit,
PF7=Bwd, PF8=Fwd, PF12=Cancel, and
PF15=Logoff, as well as the Enter key, are defined in
Chapter 1.
PF6=Refresh
Caution:
Refreshes the CICS VSAM buffers after a batch update. The VSAM buffers
are refreshed by closing and opening all of the databank files.
All databank files are updated through a batch program. Any
online changes go to a pending file and are later applied through a
batch program. CICS uses buffers, or hold areas, when reading
IBM Sterling Gentran:Basic for z/OS Release 6.6 User Guide
4 - 25
The Databank Subsystem
Databank Maintenance Menu EDIM250
files. While the information you need is still available in those
buffers, CICS does not re-read the file. Whether or not CICS
automatically refreshes the buffers is influenced by these factors:
volume of activity against the file, VSAM share options assigned
to the file, number of buffers, and pool sizes.
In most environments, the Refresh function is not required
because normal CICS processing results in sufficient VSAM
activity to refresh VSAM buffers automatically. However, if
batch updates are run while the online databank is active, the
CICS buffers do not show the latest information until the buffers
are refreshed. Problems navigating between different levels of
EDI envelopes or between directory and data screens may
indicate that your databank buffers need to be refreshed.
Pressing PF6 immediately interrupts all online databank users
and repositions them to the Databank Maintenance Menu. Any
databank online changes prior to the last save need to be
re-applied after the Refresh function has completed. Closing and
re-opening all of the databank files requires a few seconds to
complete.
Because of the impact of the Refresh function on the databank,
only users with security access Level 1 are permitted to use the
Refresh function.

Online Log Display Screen
EDIMOLD
Purpose
The Online Log Display screen displays the Online Log file and allows you to monitor any
exception situations that are encountered by the background CICS tasks in Sterling Gentran:Basic.
The Online Log Display screen displays data the same way as a console log: The most recent
entries are displayed at the bottom of the screen. As new entries are added to the file, the display
scrolls upward.
This screen only displays log messages generated by applications in the Sterling Gentran:Basic
system. To view messages generated by the Sterling Gentran:Control, Sterling Gentran:Realtime,
or Sterling Gentran:Viewpoint systems, use the Online Log Display screen for the corresponding
system.
How to Access
Access the Online Log Display screen in either of these two ways:
•
Type 10 to select Log Display from the Databank Maintenance Menu and press Enter.
•
Type 3.10 in the Jump Code field of any screen and press Enter.
Screen Example

Position Criteria (optional)
A group of five fields that are used to position the display of the Online Log file at a
specific point in the file, based on the criteria in these fields. You can use any combination
of position criteria, or leave the fields blank. When you do not specify position criteria (all
five fields are blank), the last (most recent) record in the file is the last entry on the screen.
When you press Enter, the system searches for log entries matching the position criteria,
beginning with the last record on the Online Log file. When you press either PF7 or PF8,
the system searches for entries, beginning with the last record displayed on the screen.
Task # (optional)
A 7-digit numeric field used to position the display of the Online Log file at the most
recent entry of a specific CICS task number. Valid values are any valid CICS task number.
The system searches for an exact match of the task number in this field.

A 4-position numeric field used to indicate the maximum number of Online Log file
entries to read during a search for position criteria.
When this screen is initially displayed, the Max Count field contains the default value as
defined on the Configuration Maintenance screen (EDIM231) for Record Type 0, the
Online Options. If no records are found that match the selection criteria, the message
EXCEEDED MAX SEARCH COUNT is displayed. You can either press PF7 or PF8 to
continue the search or increase the value in the Max Count field. An extremely large
number in this field may slow down response time.

Acknowledgment Overdue Directory Screen EDIM240
Acknowledgment Overdue Directory Screen
EDIM240
Purpose
The Acknowledgment Overdue Directory Screen is used to view EDI interchanges on the
Acknowledgment Overdue File. There is a file for Sterling Gentran:Basic and a different file for
Sterling Gentran:Realtime. EDID510 (Acknowledgment Reconciliation) and EDIR515 (Realtime
Acknowledgment Reconciliation) create the Acknowledgment Overdue files when processing in
Monitor mode. The Acknowledgment Overdue files contain a copy of the Outbound EDI
databank records that have an acknowledgment status of overdue or waiting.
Note: The creation of the Acknowledgment Overdue files is a
configurable option. See chapter 5 in the Sterling
Gentran:Basic User Guide for Configuration
Maintenance for Record Type 2 and for more information
about the system configuration. See chapter 5 in the
IBM® Sterling Gentran:Basic® for z/OS® Release 6.6
Technical Reference Guide, for EDID510, or chapter 5 of
the IBM® Sterling Gentran:Realtime® for z/OS®
Technical Reference Guide for EDIR515, or for more
Information about the Acknowledgment Overdue file.
The Acknowledgment Overdue Directory screen allows you to start the list at a specified Partner
profile, restrict the list to just overdue or waiting interchanges and restrict the list to just Sterling
Gentran or Sterling Gentran:Realtime information. Leaving these fields blank produces a list of all
IDs for which there are records on the Acknowledgment Overdue files.
How to Access
Access the Interchange Directory in either of these two ways:
•
Type 13 to select Acknowledgment Overdue Directory from the Databank Maintenance
Menu and press Enter.
•
Type 3.13 in the Jump Code field of any screen and press Enter.
Screen Examples
The following examples illustrate the Acknowledgment Overdue Directory for both Partner/
Qualifier and Relationship modes.

Administration Subsystem Jump Codes
A jump code is a 1- to 10-position alphanumeric field located at the upper left corner of each
Sterling Gentran:Basic screen. Use the jump code to move, or jump, directly from one screen to
another, while bypassing menus. All screens that are accessible through a Sterling Gentran:Basic
menu have jump codes associated with them. Screens that are accessible only from detail screens
do not have jump codes associated with them.
See Chapter 1, “Getting Started,” for further information on using jump codes.
You can jump between screens without having to navigate using the Sterling Gentran:Basic
menus. Use the following procedure to jump between screens:
Step 1:
Press Home.
The cursor moves to the Jump Code field at the top of the screen to the right of the
screen number.
Step 2:
Type the jump code and press Enter.
Note: If the cursor moves to the Jump Code field, and then you
decide not to enter a jump code after all, press Tab to
return to the next entry field on the screen.

Field Descriptions
Note: Fields that are display-only contain the statement
(protected) next to the field name in the documentation.
Jump Code
A 10-position alphabetic or numeric field containing the jump code for this screen. A
screen’s jump code is displayed in the Jump Code field for that screen.
To jump to another screen, press Home, type the jump code of the screen to which you
want to jump and press Enter.
See Chapter 1, “Getting Started,” for further information on using jump codes.
User ID
An 8-position alphanumeric field used to define the user identification. The User ID is the
key that enables Sterling Gentran to recognize the user and identify which subsystems and
authority levels the user is permitted. The User ID is sometimes called the Logon ID.
To provide additional security, the User ID is encrypted when it is saved on the Security
file.
Password
An 8-position alphanumeric field used to define a user's password. Passwords require a
minimum of four and maximum of eight characters in length. The required length is an
installation option defined on the configuration file. The user can change their password
on the Sterling Gentran:Basic logon screen. Sterling Gentran will issue a confirmation
message after adding or updating a password.
To provide additional security, a password is encrypted after saving it on the Security file
and will not display on the screen when typed. For users with security Level 1, you control
the password display by setting the Security Password Suppress flag on System
Configuration Record 0 On-Line options.
See the topic “Configuration Maintenance Screen Part 2 On-Line Options- Record Type
0,” later in this chapter for more information.
Division
A 3-position alphanumeric field used to define a user-specific division code. The division
is used in conjunction with the partner profile. When a division is specified for a User ID,
that user may only access information for records having the same division code. The
System Administrator or EDI Coordinator should maintain a division of 000 to access all
trading partner records.
Any record that contains a division code of spaces is considered to be a corporate record,
and can be used by more than one division. All users can access these records.
The following matrix illustrates when you can and cannot access a particular object, based
on your division in your User ID. (An object refers to a trading partner, maps, or databank
records.) This matrix shows that if your division is defined as 000, then you can access any
object. If the object contains blanks, then any user can access that object. The 010 or 020

Last Update Date (protected)
Displays the last date that security file maintenance was performed for the specified User
ID. This field displays the date that the User ID was first added, or the date the User ID
was last updated. This date does not reflect the date for password changes (by the user via
the Sterling Gentran:Basic logon screen). Date format is MM/DD/YY.
User (protected)
Displays up to three letters or initials of the user who added, or last updated the security
information for the User ID currently displayed.

Access (Y/N)
A 1-position alphabetic field used to designate user access rights to the various Sterling
Gentran:Basic subsystems (listed to the right of the Authority Level field). The Access
field is used in conjunction with the Authority Level field to build Sterling Gentran:Basic
subsystem security for each User ID. Access to the Databank feature is controlled through
5 - 18
IBM Sterling Gentran:Basic for z/OS Release 6.6 User Guide
User ID Maintenance Screen EDIM201
The Administration Subsystem
the use of the self-contained security system. Gentran allows you to define users with their
own privileges. The following general security rules apply for data access. These rules are
further restricted by the Databank Security Authority Levels described below.
•
If a user has access to an EDI Transaction or Application Document level
directory record, the corresponding data can be viewed (subject to the authority
levels described below).
•
At the EDI Interchange and Group level, a user is allowed to view the
corresponding EDI data if: all documents within the Interchange or Functional
Group have the same division (this must match the User IDs security division or
the directory record would not be displayed), or the User ID has a system
administrator security division (000). Any record that contains a division code of
spaces is considered to be a corporate record, and can be used by more than one
division. All users can access these records.
See the “Field Descriptions” section in this topic for more information on
Division access.
This may restrict users in a divisional structure or where document/transaction division is
based on document type. Users in this type of environment may be required to access the
EDI related information by switching from the Application Document Status to the EDI
Document Status. Following are valid values for all subsystems:
Y
=
N
=
Caution:
Yes, grant the user access to this Sterling Gentran:Basic
subsystem. When you specify the Y value in this field, the field is
used in conjunction with the Authority Level field to build
Sterling Gentran:Basic subsystem security for each User ID.
No, do not grant the user access to this Sterling Gentran:Basic
subsystem. By entering the value N is this field, you deny the user
the capability to access the subsystem. The default value is N.
When specifying the N value, the default value for the Authority
Level field is 3, and the subsystem is not displayed as an option
on the Sterling Gentran Main Menu. This is commonly used
when restricting access to the security subsystem.
Typically, access to the Security Maintenance
subsystem is reserved for use by a System
Administrator/EDI coordinator. Access to this
subsystem at authority Level 1 enables you to see
the passwords assigned to each user. Other users
can view only their own password.
Authority Level
A 1-position numeric field used to set inquiry and update rights to the various Sterling
Gentran:Basic subsystems (listed immediately to the right of this field) that the specified
user might access. The Authority Level field is used in conjunction with the Access field
to build Sterling Gentran:Basic subsystem security for each User ID. To support the
required security for the Databank subsystem, the security access level allowed for the
databank is from 1 – 6. These levels of security identify the following areas as requiring
security: Directory Record Viewing, Directory Record Update Access, Data Viewing, and
Data Editing.
IBM Sterling Gentran:Basic for z/OS Release 6.6 User Guide

1
Update rights granted, including the right to change the Update
Allowed field for any of the Sterling Gentran:Basic subsystems.
The Update Allowed field designates whether or not a user
having an authority Level 2 is locked from changing applications
such as Standards versions, transaction maps, the Application ID,
tables, and the partner profile. This is an unrestricted security
level.
Note: If you have authority Level 1, you can add and update
users. Sterling Gentran will display all passwords to you
on the User ID Maintenance screen.
Caution:
=
To protect the integrity of applications, such as Standards
versions, transaction maps, the Application Data ID, tables,
and the partner profile, authority Level 1 can be reserved for
use by only the system administrator. You can also set the
Update Allowed flag to N (do not allow changes to these
locked applications) to prohibit system modifications after
establishing a file or parameter setup. Specifying either Y or
N in the Update Allowed flag provides the applicable
authority to users maintaining authority Level 2.
2
=
Limited update rights granted, may make additions throughout
Sterling Gentran:Basic, and changes and deletions to those
applications in Sterling Gentran:Basic subsystems having an
Update Allowed flag set to Y. If you have authority Level 2, you
can both add and update users.
Note: Sterling Gentran will display only your password on the
User ID Maintenance screen.
3
=
Display-only rights granted; no file maintenance is permitted.
The default value is 3. If you have authority Level 3, you cannot
add or update users. Your own password will display on the User
ID Maintenance screen, but other users’ passwords will not
display.
If the Access field has the Y value, you MUST type a value in this field. If the Access field
has the N value, this field value defaults to 3 (although it has no meaning because access
to that subsystem is completely restricted).
Note: Authority Level 3 for Sterling Gentran:Realtime prevents
access to any of the Realtime System Maintenance
screens.

User ID for Background Tasks
An 8-position alphabetic field used to enter a User ID for security control of background
tasks in Sterling Gentran:Basic. The background task, EDIP (used for submitting batch
reports), is not affiliated with a terminal and, therefore, does not have a signon ID. This
field allows you to specify a security ID to use with this transactions. Valid values are any
valid User ID in your system.
For more information about how to use a User ID for Background Tasks, see “Configuring
JCL Submission and User Security” in Chapter 7, “System Features: Tips and
Techniques,” in this guide.
Note: The ID must have access to the Sterling Gentran files and
any special resources that may be needed for the online
batch initiator process.
Batch Submit Exit
An 8-position alphabetic field that is used to enter a user-written batch submit exit. The
online batch initiator (EDIBOBI) program will use this exit instead of writing to the Batch
destination transient data queue (EDII) when submitting batch jobs from the Sterling
Gentran:Basic system. Use this exit when you need to submit jobs through a Scheduler
system rather than through a CICS controlled internal reader.
For more information about how to use a Batch Submit Exit, see “Configuring JCL
Submission and User Security” in Chapter 7, “System Features: Tips and Techniques,” in
this guide.

use the background task to perform the updates.
When you disable the switch, the actual writes are performed in the program which creates
the report. Valid values are:

Upload Process Maintenance
EDIM235
Purpose
The Unload/Upload Maintenance (EDIM235) screen provides the ability to copy transaction
maps, Application Data IDs, codes tables, and partners from one Sterling Gentran system to
another without disabling the destination system. There are multiple JCL streams that provide the
Unload process: EXEC060 (Application Data ID), EXEC076 (codes tables), EXEC080
(transaction maps), and EXEC087U (partners). These streams will copy the specified objects into
sequential files. The JCL stream EXECLOAD will copy each of the sequential files created by the
previous streams into a single file that is allocated to the CICS region. This maintenance screen
can then be used to process the unloaded objects into their proper files.
There are two functions that can be performed from the Upload Process screen:
•
Display an identifier for the objects in the file
•
Upload the objects into the proper Sterling Gentran files
Note: You must have Mapping Integration and Level 1 security
authorization to access this screen.
See Chapter 7, “System Features: Tip and Techniques” for more information about the Unload/
Upload facility.
How to Access
Access the Upload Processing screen in either of these two ways:
•
From the Administrative Main Menu, type 6 in the Selection field for Upload

Application Change Audit Directory EDIM560
Application Change Audit Directory
EDIM560
Purpose
The Application Change Audit Directory lists all Application IDs that currently exist in the
Application Change Audit file. A record is written to the Application Change Audit file for every
Application record that is added or deleted, and for every field that is updated on the four
Application files (Header, Link, Record, and Field) via the online Sterling Gentran Application
Subsystem. A change audit record may also be written by batch utility programs EBDI060 (Copy),
EBDI088 (Version Comparison and Conversion), and EBDI090 (Application Re-sequence). A
record may also be written by the online Upload (EDIX235) process by its component EDIR060
during the execution of each Application ID that is copied, replaced, or deleted. Change Audit
records contain a source field indicating which process generated the change audit record. This
field will contain either the online screen name or the batch utility program name.
Note: Because the batch utility programs can be used to totally
replace or update an existing application, the change
audit record created by the batch utility is significant as it
marks the start of any changes that occur in this
application. Any change audit records that were created
before that record may not be of any value because the
application was replaced. The audit trail begins with that
record.
How to Access
Access the Application Change Audit Directory screen in one of the following ways:
5 - 180
•
On the Change Audit Main Menu, type 4 to select the Application Change Audit
Directory screen and press Enter.
•
Type 4.8.4 in the Jump Code field of any screen and press Enter.

Purpose
The Transaction Change Audit Directory lists all Transaction IDs that currently exist in the
Transaction Change Audit file. A record is written to the Transaction Change Audit file for every
Transaction record that is added or deleted, and for every field that is updated on the three
Mapping Transaction files (Header, Segment, and Element) via the online Sterling Gentran
Mapping Subsystem. A change audit record may also be written by batch utility programs
EBDI080 (Copy), EBDI088 (Version Comparison and Conversion), and EBDI089 (Translation
Re-synch). A record may also be written by the online Upload (EDIX235) process by its
component EDIR080 during the execution of each Transaction ID that is copied, replaced, or
deleted. Change Audit records contain a source field indicating which process generated the
change audit record. This field will contain either the online screen name or the batch utility
program name.
Note: Because the batch utility programs can be used to totally
replace or update an existing map, the change audit
record created by the batch utility is significant as it
marks the start of any changes that occur to this map.
Any change audit records that were created before that
record may not be of any value because the map was
replaced. The audit trail begins with that record.

Code Table Change Audit Directory EDIM587
Code Table Change Audit Directory
EDIM587
Purpose
The Code Table Change Audit Directory lists all Table IDs that currently exist in the Code Table
Change Audit file. A record is written to the Code Table Change Audit file for every Code Table
record that is added or deleted, and for every field that is updated on the four Code Table files
(Define, Code, Data, and Validation) via the online Sterling Gentran Code Table Subsystem. A
change audit record may also be written by batch utility program EBDI076 (Copy) and by the
online Upload (EDIX235) process by its component EDIR076 during the execution of each Table
ID that is copied, replaced, or deleted. Change Audit records contain a source field indicating
which process generated the change audit record. This field will contain either the online screen
name or the batch utility program name.
Note: Because the batch utility programs can be used to totally
replace or update an existing Code Table, the change
audit record created by the batch utility is significant as it
marks the start of any changes that occur in this Code
Table. Any change audit records that were created before
that record may not be of any value because the table was
replaced. The audit trail begins with that record.
How to Access
Access the Code Table Change Audit Directory screen in one of the following ways:
5 - 198
•
On the Change Audit Main Menu, type 6 to select the Code Table Change Audit
Directory screen and press Enter.
•

What is Mapping?
This chapter defines all menus and screens of the Sterling Gentran:Basic Mapping Maintenance
feature.
There are three menus that you can access directly from the Sterling Gentran:Basic Mapping
Maintenance Menu. These menus define the three main tasks of mapping maintenance:
•
Application Definition
•
Transaction Mapping
•
Code and Data Translation
From these menus, you make selections to perform the processing required of the task. After you
make a menu selection, the system displays user-entry screens that prompt you through the
mapping process.
What is in this Chapter?
There are four menus (including the Sterling Gentran:Basic Mapping Maintenance Menu) and 30
screens available in the Mapping Maintenance feature. Some screens allow you to perform a
subtask and are only accessible from another screen. Subtask screens are not listed on menus.
Each menu contains a Selection field allowing you to type the number of a task selection as listed
on the menu. After typing the task selection number and pressing Enter, the system displays the
appropriate screen.
In the Glossary, there are three data type lists that provide a detailed description of the following.
•
Reserved Word Constants
Special usage fields that are available when mapping a document.
•
Application Data Types
Classifications of data used in the application that you build.
•
EDI Data Types
Classifications of data used in the EDI data to be sent or received.
These descriptions are valid for data type fields found on the screens illustrated in this section.

What is Sectioning?
Introduction
Sectioning enables you to further subdivide the detail section of an application and transaction
definition into one to nine sections. Each of these sections is processed as a discrete unit of work.
To understand sectioning, it is helpful to understand how the mapping programs process data. To
provide the greatest flexibility, the Mappers normally process data as follows:
1.
Data is read into memory until it is determined that the Mapper has loaded one
complete unit of work. A unit of work is defined as the entire header section of a
document, one line item of a document (a line item is one iteration of the detail
section, from one occurrence of the first detail record to the next), or the entire
summary section. All of the data contained in a unit of work cannot exceed one
million characters or 10,000 input records.
2.
All of the output data that is defined to correspond to the unit of work of the input
data is created. All of the input data for the appropriate section is available for
output.
This normal processing works well for the majority of the business documents as defined in the
EDI standards. However, certain application or transaction definitions are defined with nested
looping structures that cause one iteration of the detail section of a document to contain many
records or segments. Some of these documents cause the Mapper to issue an error that indicates
that the one million characters or 10,000 input records limit has been exceeded.
Processing very large amounts of data as one unit of work may not be efficient. For this reason, the
sectioning feature was developed for Sterling Gentran:Basic.
Outbound Sectioning Example
Sectioning—how it works and how to implement it—can best be explained with an example. For
illustration purposes, the following example is an oversimplification of a real situation; however, it
should be sufficient to explain the feature.
Note: When you use sectioning on outbound processing in your
own environment, you have greater control because you
have detailed knowledge of your own application and
you know exactly what values you are passing.

Before You Begin
In this example, a supplier to a major automotive manufacturer has decided to begin sending
advance-shipping notices (ASN) to their trading partner. Because the supplier’s products are on a
two-day order/replenishment cycle, they have decided to transmit one ASN at 5:00 p.m. that
describes all of the shipments that arrive at the manufacturer the next day. The ASN describes each
order that is contained in each shipment, as well as each item that is contained in each order.
History has shown that typically two shipments with 40 orders each are shipped to the
manufacturer daily. Each of these orders contains an average of 40 items.
Record Types
The supplier’s outbound application file, which was developed specifically to support the ASN,
contains the following record types:
Record
Characters
Description
ASN
200
This record occurs once per day and contains basic
information about the ASN to be transmitted.
Shipment
80
This record occurs once for each shipment destined for
the manufacturer. It contains information such as
estimated arrival, transportation mode, and carrier.
Order
150
This record occurs once for each order that is included
on each shipment. It contains basic information
relating to the original purchase order.
Item
200
This record occurs once for each item that is being
shipped for each order. It contains detailed information
relating to the original purchase order.
Application File Structure
The application file structure would normally be described to Sterling Gentran:Basic as follows:

This application structure shows that the detail section of the document contains three records in
loops, with ITEM nested under ORD, and ORD nested under SHIP.

Detail Section
The previous structure for the application and transaction definitions is technically correct and
produces the desired results. One consideration, however, is that by definition one iteration of the
detail section consists of one SHIP record and all of the ORD and ITEM records that occur before
the next SHIP record. The supplier in our example has statistics that determine they should expect
an average of 40 ORD records and 1600 ITEM records in memory before mapping that unit of
work. A quick calculation determines that on average it is necessary to store 326,080 characters,
which is a very large amount of data for one unit of work. Processing large amounts of data such as
this could result in slow performance. For more efficient processing of the data, the supplier could
section the application and transaction definitions.
Sectioning the Map
Use the following steps to section the maps:
Go to the Application Records screen and examine the record definitions. The goal is to
break down the detail section into smaller components that are processed independently.
Sections should usually be defined working from “the top down.”
By having the SHIP, ORD, and ITEM records all defined as existing in the detail section,
we would have to process an average of 1,641 records in each detail unit of work. If we set
up a section break on the ORD record, a separate unit of work would be defined that
includes only the ORD and ITEM records. This unit of work would translate into an
average of 41 records or 8150 characters in the largest unit of work. By establishing this
break at the ORD record, the SHIP record is processed by itself.
If possible, break down the detail section at the ORD record. For even more efficiency,
break the document down at the ITEM record. This break is exactly what the supplier
does. For the records that are going to be part of a new section, change the D in the Area
column to a valid section number. Valid entries are 1 through 9. In this case, leave the
SHIP record in the D section. The ORD record goes in the 1 section and the ITEM record
goes in the 2 section. There is no requirement to number the sections consecutively.

Corresponding changes must also be made to the segments in the transaction
definition. On the Segments screen, change the D in the Area column for the
segments that correspond to the application records that were changed. Be sure to

Inbound Sectioning Example
In this example, a company is receiving inbound product activity data (852) transactions
containing the following segment types:
Segment
Description
XQ
This segment occurs once per transaction and contains the
reporting date information.
LIN
This segment occurs once for each item it is reporting. It contains
the identification of the item.
ZA
This segment can occur up to ten times for each item it is reporting.
It contains the unit of measure and product identification.
SDQ
This segment can occur up to 100 times for each product it is
reporting. It contains the store location and the quantity for that
store.

Detail Section
This structure for the Application and Transaction Definition is technically correct and produce the
desired results. One consideration, however, is that by definition one iteration of the detail section
consists of one LIN segment, and all of the ZA and SDQ segments that occur before the next LIN
segment. The following document was sectioned for performance reasons. Also, since the
company is receiving this document, they need to accommodate the maximum number of SDQ
segments.
As with the outbound sectioning example earlier in this chapter, there are the following two
options available to process this data:
•
Processing normally. Performance may be impacted.
•
An alternative could be to section the application and transaction definitions. This
option processes the data much more efficiently.
Sectioning the Map
Use the steps below to section the maps:
1.
Go to the Application Records screen and examine the record definitions. The
goal is to break down the detail section into smaller components that are
processed independently. Sections should usually be defined working from “the
top down.”
The ITEM, CODE, and STORE records are all defined as existing in the detail
section. If we set up a section break on the CODE record, a separate unit of work
would be defined that includes only the CODE and STORE records. By
establishing this break at the CODE record, the ITEM record is processed by itself.
If the company can make the processing more efficient by breaking the detail
section at the CODE record, it would be even more efficient to also break it at the
STORE record. This break is exactly what the company does.
2.
For the records that are going to be part of a new section, change the D in the Area
column to a valid section number. Valid entries for Release 6.3 are 1 through 9. In
this case, leave the ITEM record in the D section. The CODE record goes in the 1
section and the STORE record goes in the 2 section. There is no requirement to
number the sections consecutively.

Sectioning Rules
Adhere to the following rules when you section a document:
6 - 10
•
Data can be moved only directly from a corresponding section. This action is just
an extension of the original mapping rule that data cannot be moved from one area
to another (e.g., you cannot move data from the header area directly to the detail
area). If it is necessary to have data from one section mapped into another, it must
be mapped directly in its own section, saved into a constant, and then loaded from
the constant to its ultimate destination.
•
No attempt is made to map data to a section 1 through 9 unless some input is
received that is in that section. This means that you cannot generate an outbound
segment that is composed of all literals, unless an input record is received that is
in the corresponding section. This can cause problems for existing maps where LS
and LE segments were being generated and there was no corresponding input.
•
A section must be defined by contiguous input and output. It is not permitted to
define a section 4 that has a section 5 record in the middle of it.
IBM Sterling Gentran:Basic for z/OS Release 6.6 User Guide
Before You Begin
The Mapping Subsystem
Sectioning Guidelines
The following guidelines are suggestions. If any of the following cases exist while processing your
inbound or outbound data, you should consider sectioning your map.
•
You estimate that looping structures in the detail area of your document causes
you to table more than 10 to 20 input records prior to processing output. This
estimate is the number of records that are displayed between each occurrence of
the first Detail record defined.
•
Your document contains loops nested more than two levels into the structure.
Benefits of Sectioning
•
The most obvious benefit from sectioning is in the performance gains that can be
experienced when processing large documents with nested looping structures.
•
A second benefit of sectioning is that it can make the transaction definition much
simpler in many situations. Some maps, where the same segment is used in
different structures, required complex IF conditions to differentiate between one
occurrence and another of the segment. With sectioning, often this type of
condition is not necessary, because only one type of a segment is processed at one
time. This makes it easier for the Mapper to differentiate between a REF segment
in one section versus a REF segment in another.
Limitations of Sectioning
The advantages of sectioning far outweigh the limitations of sectioning, provided the need for
sectioning is demonstrated. Following are the only limitations that we have found:
•
The use of sectioning restricts the normal flexibility available with the
Sterling Gentran:Basic mapping system. Without sectioning, only area boundaries
limit data movement. With sectioning, these boundaries move to the section
definitions. This restriction is somewhat mitigated by the fact that usually the data
that is contained within a section, if it is defined with some forethought, contains
logically related data that is looping in nature. Each iteration of an incoming
section generates a corresponding outgoing section. Data can be moved from a
higher-level section into these looping structures by saving the data in constants.
•
Outbound documents that require segments to be generated from constants alone

Mapping Jump Codes
A jump code is a 10-character alphanumeric field located at the upper left corner of each Sterling
Gentran:Basic screen. This field enables you to move, or jump, directly from one screen to
another, within a subsystem, while bypassing menu screens. All screens that are accessible via a
Sterling Gentran:Basic menu have jump codes associated with them. Screens that are accessible
only from detail screens do not have jump codes associated with them.
See Chapter 1, “Getting Started,” for further information on using jump codes.
You can jump between screens without having to navigate using the Sterling Gentran:Basic
menus. Use the following procedure to jump between screens:
1.
Press Home to move the insertion point to the Jump Code field.
2.
Type the jump code of the screen to which you want to jump, and then press Enter.
Note: If the insertion point moves to the Jump Code field and
you decide not to enter a jump code after all, press Tab to
return to the next entry field on the screen.
The following table lists the jump codes for the Sterling Gentran:Basic Mapping subsystem menus
and screens. The screens are listed by name and are arranged in the order in which they are
displayed on the Sterling Gentran:Basic menus.

Note to Sterling Gentran:Realtime Users
Sterling Gentran:Realtime creates an internal representation of each Application Data ID
when it is first accessed within CICS. This internal representation is used by Sterling
Gentran:Realtime to process the Application Data ID. This procedure increases CICS
efficiency by reducing the number of reads required to process the Application Data ID.
All internal representations are deleted when the CICS region is shut down.
When maintenance is performed on an Application Data ID, the VSAM file containing the
Application Data ID is updated, but the Sterling Gentran:Realtime internal representation
is not updated.
To delete the internal representation, press PF12 located on the Application Data ID
screen.
The next time Sterling Gentran:Realtime accesses the Application Data ID, a new internal
representation is created reflecting any user changes that might have been made.
PF12 is applicable only when Sterling Gentran:Realtime is installed.
Creation and use of internal representations by Sterling Gentran:Realtime can be
discontinued by entering the value N (None) in the Map Store SW field on the Shell Path
Maintenance screen (EDIM831).

Purpose
The Copy Application Definition screen enables you to copy an Application Data ID (records and
fields) from a previously defined application definition. You can only copy from an Application
Data ID having a division code equal to your own, unless your Logon ID is defined with a division
of “000.”
See the sub-topic “Field Descriptions” in the “User ID Maintenance Screen” section in Chapter 5
for more information on divisions.
The file type (either fixed or variable length) and record length for the Application Data ID you are
copying must match those of the new Application Data ID you are creating. The Send or Receive
fields may be different. For example, you can copy records and fields for a receive application ID
to a send application ID, as illustrated below.
Note: You cannot move to the Application Data ID Screen with
a definition whose division is not equal to your own,
unless your division code is “000.”
How to Access
Access the Copy Application screen by pressing PF2 when viewing the Application Data ID

A (Action Code)
A 1-position alphabetic field used to specify an action for an individual record. Type A to
add a record, U to update a record, D to delete a record, (and its associated field
definitions), or I to display the date, time and user initials on the message line that reflects
when the information for the selected entry was created or last changed. Type S to select a
record for additional processing. If you type S in this field, you must press a function key
to perform a specified action.
Seq No (required)
A 3-position numeric field defining the sequence number for the record. The record
sequence number determines the relative position of a record within the application
definition.
Note: You can need to add new records after the initial set up;
therefore, we recommend using multiples of ten when
defining records (e.g., 010, 020, 030). If you need to add
an additional record, insert it appropriately using the next
consecutive number (e.g., 011, 021, 031). This enables
records to maintain a relative position within the
structure.
Rec Type (required)
A 10-position alphanumeric field identifying the name of the record being defined (e.g.,
H01 = header record type 1, D01 = detail item type 1).
The data in this record type must be found in the application records presented to
outbound processing. The position of this character string is determined by the Record
Type Start Position and Length as defined on the Application Data ID screen.
The defined record type must be unique within an application definition.
The following rules apply to the record types:
•
There must be a record type that identifies the start of the Header section. This
record can occur only one time per document.
•
If Detail records are used, there must be a record type that identifies the start of
the Detail section.
•
If Summary records are used, there must be a record type that identifies the start
of the Summary section. This record can occur only one time per document.

See the topic “Using Inbound Application Constant Records” in Chapter 7 for
information about how to use application constant records.
Note: Application constant record values are valid for inbound
applications only.
Record types 1 through 9 are used with the mapping technique known as Sectioning.
Sectioning allows you to break the Detail portion of the document into smaller sections to
better use the mapping buffers when large volumes of data are presented to be mapped.
See the topic “What is Sectioning?” for further details and examples on sectioning.
Lp ID
A 6-position alphanumeric field defining the loop identification, as defined by the
standards.
The Loop ID must be the same on the application records and the transaction segments
when the data from the application records map to a group of transaction segments
(outbound) or transaction segments map to a group of application records (inbound).
Max Use (required)
A 5-position numeric field defining the maximum number of records of this type that may
occur within a data structure (e.g., the header area, summary area, application loop).
The Max Use indicates how many times in a row this record can occur. If the record
occurs in a looping structure, it indicates how many times in a row this record can occur
for each loop occurrence. The Max Use for the first record defined in a loop must equal 1.
Rec Len (required)
A 4-position numeric field defining the length of the record in terms of bytes. If the
application file is fixed length, the record length must equal the application file maximum
record length. If the application file is a variable length, the record length may not be
greater than the application file maximum length.
Note: The maximum record length for the application file is
specified on the Application Data ID screen.

A 26-position alphanumeric field displaying the record description. The description
provides additional information to describe the record.
HL Level (Inbound Only)
Indicates the HL level for each application record. Type the value found on the HL03 to
improve mapper performance. This field is used only for documents that support HL
structuring, such as 811 (Consolidated Service Invoice/Statement) and 856 (Advanced
Ship Notice).
User Exit
A 7-position alphanumeric field used to specify the name of a user defined programming
exit routine that is used when mapping the specific application record. For inbound
processing, the user exit is invoked before the ‘write’ of the record. For outbound
processing, the user exit is invoked after the ‘read’ of the application record.

Purpose
The Application Partner Reference screen allows you to define to Sterling Gentran:Basic the
application data fields containing the key information used by the Sterling Gentran:Basic partner
profile. This screen enables you to specify the fields containing the trading partner identifiers and
qualifiers, and the fields containing the user identifiers and qualifiers. If this information is not
available on the application file, it can be supplied on a parameter card input to the mapper during
batch processing. You can only access and update application partner reference information having
a division code equal to your own, unless your Logon ID is defined with a division of “000.”
See the sub-topic “Field Descriptions” in the “User ID Maintenance Screen” section in Chapter 5
for more information on divisions.
Note: You cannot move to the Application Data ID or
Application Partner Reference screens where the division
is not equal to your own, unless your division code is
“000.”
This screen is also used to define up to three application document key fields. The application
document key fields are used to uniquely identify an application document on the Application
Databanks. The application key fields specified are concatenated to form the key to the databank.

Application Data ID (required)
A 10-position alphanumeric field that identifies the application data. The Application Data
ID is the name that identifies your application file.
Send or Receive (required)
A 1-position alphabetic field defining the Send or Receive Code for the Application Data
ID. This code designates whether the application file is used to send data (outbound) or
receive data (inbound). Valid values are S (send) and R (receive).
Partner Field Name
A 15-position alphanumeric field defining the field name in the application file that
contains the trading partner (receiver) identification as defined on the Sterling
Gentran:Basic partner profile.
If using Partner/Qualifier Mode: The contents of this field (along with the contents of the
Qual field) are used to read the partner profile to determine which map is used to build the
EDI segments and elements during outbound mapping. If the data in this field does not
match a Partner ID then the partner cross-reference file is checked for a match.
If using Relationship Mode: The contents of this field (along with the contents of the User
Field Name) are used to read the partner profile to determine which map is used to build
the EDI segments and elements during outbound mapping.
Partner Qual Field Name (Partner/Qualifier Mode Only)
A 15-position alphanumeric field defining the field name in the application file that
contains the trading partner qualifier.
User Field Name
A 15-position alphanumeric field that identifies the sender of an outbound document. This
field is used to identify the user as defined on the Sterling Gentran:Basic partner profile.
If using Partner/Qualifier Mode: The contents of this field (along with the contents of the
User Qual Field Name) are used to read the partner profile.

Application Envelope Definition Screen EDIM558
The Mapping Subsystem
Application Envelope Definition Screen
EDIM558
Purpose
The Application Envelope Definition screen, used for outbound only, enables you to define the
application data fields containing envelope field data such as IDs for a sender or receiver,
qualifiers, control number, IDs for security and communications, application reference
information, priority codes and test indicators. Any remaining envelope information not entered or
not available on this screen is obtained from the partner profile.
Note: You cannot move to the Application Envelope Definition
screen for a application whose division is not equal to
your own, unless your division code is “000.”
Sterling Gentran:Basic accesses the information on the
Application Envelope Definition Screen when the
resolved Partner ID changes. New envelopes are created
only when the resolved Partner ID changes. A change in
the User Name does not generate new envelopes; thus,
the information on this screen is not accessed when the
user name changes.
Note: You must define all fields indicated on this screen in the
Header section of the application. If the data contains
multiple records of the same type, only the first
occurrence is used.
How to Access
Access the Application Envelope Definition screen from the Application Data ID screen
(EDIM552) by pressing PF13.
Note: No jump code is associated with this screen.

Note to Sterling Gentran:Realtime Users
Sterling Gentran:Realtime creates an internal representation of each Transaction Map ID when it is
first accessed within CICS. This internal representation is used by Sterling Gentran:Realtime to
process the Transaction Map ID. This procedure increases CICS efficiency by reducing the
number of reads required to process the Transaction Map ID.
All internal representations are deleted when the CICS region is shut down.
When maintenance is performed on a Transaction Map ID, the VSAM file containing the
Transaction Map ID is updated, but the Sterling Gentran:Realtime internal representation is not
updated.
To delete the internal representation, press PF12 located on the Transaction Maintenance screen.
The next time Sterling Gentran:Realtime accesses the Transaction Map ID, the internal
representation is refreshed reflecting any changes that may have been made.
PF12 is applicable only when Sterling Gentran:Realtime is installed.
Creation and use of internal representations by Sterling Gentran:Realtime can be discontinued by
entering the value N (None) in the Map Store SW field on the Shell Path Maintenance screen
(EDIM831).

Copy Transaction Screen EDIM501
The Mapping Subsystem
Copy Transaction Screen
EDIM501
Purpose
The Copy Transaction screen enables you to build a new transaction map definition by copying
transaction segments from either an EDI standards version, or from an existing transaction map
definition. The Transaction ID header information must already exist before transaction map
details (segments, elements) may be copied.
More specifically, this screen allows you to copy the segments and elements from an EDI
standards version to a new map. You can specify (from a subscreen that lists the transaction map
segments) to copy only those segments that are necessary. The Copy Transaction Screen also
allows you to duplicate the segments and data elements in an existing transaction map into a new
map. You can only copy segments and elements to a transaction having a division code equal to
your own, unless your Logon ID is defined with a division of “000.”
See the sub-topic “Field Descriptions” in the “User ID Maintenance Screen” section in Chapter 5
for more information on divisions.
Note: You cannot move to the Copy Transaction screen for a
map whose division is not equal to your own, unless your
division code is “000.”
If you copy from another Transaction ID, that ID must be
the same direction type as the mapping you are going to
perform (i.e., if this mapping is a send type mapping –
outbound, then the Transaction ID that is copied must
also be a send type – outbound).
How to Access
Access the Copy Transaction screen in any of the following ways:
•
Type 3 to select Copy Transaction from the Transaction Mapping Menu and press
Enter.
•
Type 5.2.3 in the Jump Code field of any screen and press Enter.
•
When viewing the Transaction Maintenance screen, press PF6.

You can use the Segments screen to duplicate a segment in this transaction map. You mark the
segment selected for duplication on this screen, and then the system brings up the Copy Segments
From Transaction screen where you actually copy segments to the transaction map. This screen is
also used to create a Loop-end segment for a transaction that has one (1) segment defining the end
of multiple loops. You can only access segments having a division code equal to your own, unless
your Logon ID is defined with a division of “000.”
See the sub-topic “Field Descriptions” in the “User ID Maintenance Screen” section in Chapter 5
for more information on divisions.
Note: You cannot move to another screen for a map whose

Loop ID
A 6-position alphanumeric field that identifies the loop.
Max Loop
A 6-position numeric field that indicates the maximum number of times that the loop is
allowed to occur at a specific location sequence of the transaction. This field is coded on
the first segment of the loop.
Description
A 26-position alphanumeric field that contains the segment description.
User Exit
A 7-position alphanumeric field used to specify the name of a user-defined programming
exit routine that is used for mapping the specified segment. For inbound processing, the
user exit is invoked after the ‘read,’ for outbound processing, the user exit is invoked
before the ‘write.’
WF
A 1-position alphabetic flag used with outbound maps to define which segment definitions
actually cause segments to be written to the EDI file. The mapping operations for all
segments are processed, but only those with a Write flag = Y are actually written to the
EDI file. Valid values are:
Y

Element Mapping Inbound Screen
EDIM514
Purpose
The Element Mapping Inbound screen is used to define mapping instructions for data elements in
a segment to data fields in your application file. This screen is used to perform mapping when an
EDI element is:
•
unconditionally mapped to an application field
•
translated via a mapping table and is unconditionally mapped to an application
field
•
mapped to an application field (with or without translation) if a simple condition
is true that applies to the entire segment.
This screen allows you to advance to succeeding segments to complete the mapping for data
elements.
Map elements by entering U in the A field, a value in the application target field, and a value in the
optional translation table ID. If you need to define more complex mapping operations for an
element, type E in the A field to access additional options on the Extended Mapping screen. You
can only access elements with a division code equal to your own, unless your Logon ID is defined
with a division of “000.”
See the sub-topic “Field Descriptions” in the “User ID Maintenance Screen” section in Chapter 5
for more information on divisions.
How to Access
On the Segments screen (EDIM504), type S in the A field to select a segment and press PF5.
Note: No jump code is associated with this screen.

Extended Element Mapping Inbound Screen EDIM513
The Mapping Subsystem
Extended Element Mapping Inbound Screen
EDIM513
Purpose
The Extended Element Mapping Inbound screen allows you to define extended mapping
instructions for data elements that require calculations, user-defined routines, conditional mapping
statements, and accumulator value calculations for totals fields. You can add or delete alternate
maps (Mapping Number = 01 – 99) for a data element, or change the original mapping (Mapping
Number = 00) definition for a data element.
Note: When you delete an element with a mapping number
other than 00, the record is actually deleted – and not just
cleared.
The Extended Element Mapping Inbound screen also provides additional screens to which you can
navigate if you need to view and select EDI standard code values or an application field to copy
into the extended mapping Values fields.
Note: Reserved word constants, as found in the Reserved Word
Constants list, literals, and conditional fields may be used
in the Target Value fields for conditional mapping.
See the Glossary for a complete listing of Reserved Word
Constants.
WARNING:
Literals in this field cause a move of data
even if no input is present. However, that
area needs some input to cause the map to
switch to that area.
How to Access
Access the Transaction Mapping Menu in either of these two ways:
•
Type E in the A field on the Element Mapping Inbound screen and press Enter.
•
Type S to select the desired segment from the Segment screen and press PF6.
Note: No jump code is associated with this screen.

Extended Element Mapping Outbound Screen
EDIM508
Purpose
The Extended Element Mapping Outbound screen is used to define extended mapping instructions
for data elements that require calculations, user-defined routines, conditional mapping statements,
and accumulator value calculations for totals fields. You can add or delete additional maps
(Mapping Number = 01 – 99) for a data element, or change the original mapping (Mapping
Number = 00) definition for a data element.
Note: When you delete an element with a mapping number
other than 00, the record is actually deleted – and not just
cleared.
The Extended Element Mapping screen also provides additional screens to which you can navigate
if you need to view and select EDI standard code values or an application field to copy into the
extended mapping Value fields.
Note: Reserved word constants, literals, and conditional fields
may be used in the Element Value fields for conditional
mapping.
See the Glossary for a complete listing of Reserved Word
Constants.
WARNING:
Literals in this field cause a move of data
even if no input is present. However, that
area needs some input to cause the map to
switch to that area.
How to Access
Access the Extended Element Mapping Outbound screen in either of these two ways:
•
Type E in the A field on the Element Mapping Outbound screen and press Enter.
•
Type S to select the desired segment from the Segments screen and press PF6.
Note: No jump code is associated with this screen.

Purpose
The Select Codes screen is used to display valid code values for standard data elements that have a
data element type code of ID or AN. Each data element coded with an ID type code has a unique
table. The Select Codes screen allows you to select a code value and move it to a mapping screen
for use in completing the map definition.
Note: This screen can be accessed only from a mapping screen.
Therefore, you cannot make a selection from the Select
Codes screen to view other code table values.
How to Access
Access the Select Codes screen in any of the following ways:
•
On the Element Mapping Outbound screen, type S to select the desired element
and press PF5.
•
On the Extended Element Mapping Outbound screen, press PF5.
•
On the Element Mapping Inbound screen, if the conditional field is being used,
move the insertion point on the conditional field, and then press PF5.

Subfield Screen EDIM507
The Mapping Subsystem
Subfield Screen
EDIM507
Purpose
The Subfield screen is used to divide a data element in a specified transaction map to into multiple
parts, which are called subfields. A subfield defines which type of data may exist in multiple
positions of the data element. This screen also allows you to maintain data element subfields by
adding new definitions, updating existing subfield definitions, and deleting existing definitions.
After a data element is divided into subfields, the subfields become data elements themselves. The
new subfield data elements may be used for mapping. The original data element is marked as an
SF type data element and cannot be used in mapping.
Note: Numeric EDI elements (R and N types) cannot be
subdivided.
How to Access
When viewing the Element Mapping Inbound or Element Mapping Outbound screens, type S in
the desired element and press Enter.
Note: No jump code is associated with this screen.

partners. You can choose to display your data codes for a specified table beginning from a selected
code value that you enter, or, you can allow the system to display data codes for the specified table
ID. From this list, you can add, update, and change a code. You can only maintain tables having a
division code equal to your own, unless your Logon ID is defined with a division of “000.”
See the sub-topic “Field Descriptions” in the “User ID Maintenance Screen” section in Chapter 5
for more information on divisions.
Note: You cannot move to the Define Translation Table screen
for a table whose division is not equal to your own,
unless your division code is “000.”
The data translation table is displayed in sequence by your data values.
How to Access
Access the Data Translation by Partner menu in any one of the following ways:
•
Type 5 to select Data Translation by Partner from the Code and Data Translation
Menu and press Enter.
•
Type 5.3.5 in the Jump Code field of any screen and press Enter.
•
Type S to select the desired Data Translation table from the Table Directory and
press PF6.
•
When viewing the Define Translation Table screen for a data translation table,
press PF5.

Associated Data – ASC X12 102 Transactions
Associated Data – ASC X12 102 Transactions
Overview
Starting with X12 version 004011, the 102 transaction (associated data) was added to carry this
data. The segments in the 102 transaction contain information identifying the associated data. The
BDS segment contains the length of the data and the actual binary data. This segment is in EDI
format with element separators and a segment terminator. The length is critical to determine the
end of the binary data. The position following the indicated length is to contain the segment
terminator.
Processing Inbound X12 102 Transactions
The X12 102 transaction is processed like other EDI transactions inbound. If the binary data
contained in the BDS03 is 760 or less, then the BDS segment is passed intact to the output file for
processing through the inbound mapper. No editing of the binary data is performed. The binary
data can be mapped to application records using sub-fielding. If the binary data contained in the
BDS03 has a length greater than 760, the binary data is written to a separate data set (ASCDTA).
The attributes of this file are blocked and the record length is 80. The associated data is tagged
with an identifier. The BDS segment is written to the output file without the binary data in BDS03.
In its place is the keyword BINARY LOCATION followed by the identifier. This will allow the
identifier to be mapped into an application record. The identifier can then be used to retrieve the
binary data during the your application process. The rest of the EDI data in the input file will be
processed by the inbound editor and written to the output file as normal. If the "FULL" option for
databanking is active, then the 102 transaction will be written to the message store in its entirety.
At this point Sterling Gentran is finished processing the inbound binary data from the BDS
segment. The ASCDTA file is available for processing through the your applications/programs.
Note: Mapping is not supported for binary data greater than 760
characters.

associated data in the ASCDTA file. This header record contains an identifier. The BDS segment is
written to the output file (SYS040) without the binary data in BDS03. In its place is a keyword
followed by the identifier. This will allow the identifier to be mapped into an application record.
This identifier can then be used to retrieve the binary data during the your application process. The
rest of the EDI data in the input file will be processed by the Inbound editor and written to the
output file as usual. If the "FULL" databanking option is active then the 102 transaction will be
written to the message store in its entirety. At this point Sterling Gentran is finished processing the
inbound binary data from the BDS segment. The ASCDTA file is available for processing through
your applications/programs.

•
The data in BDS:03 will be validated for its length using the BDS:02
element. If the terminator is not found in the next position following
the indicated length – an error message is generated and a fatal error is
triggered. Condition code 16. All processing stops.
•
BDS02 will be checked – If the length is less than 761 then the BDS
segment will be processed thru the normal editor flow. If the length is
greater than 760 then the BDS segment will be written to the ASCDTA
file.
•
All BDS: segments with binary data of length greater than 760, the
binary data will be replaced with a tag in BDS03 in the format of
BINARY LOCATION ###################################.
Where ### represents the identifier that was used to write the binary
data to the ASCDTA file. The tag information will then be available to
the mapper so you can map it into an application field.
Binary data will be written to Inbound EDI Message Store like all other
EDI data.

The outbound X12 102 Transaction can also be created by Sterling Gentran. If the associated data
to be contained in BDS03 is 760 or less, the 102 transaction can then be generated using the
normal mapping process. The binary data will be passed in your application data and mapped
using sub-fielding. The 102 transaction will then process normally through the rest of the
outbound flow. Special processing is required for data greater than 760. The actual associated data
must be provided in a separate data set. This data set is variable blocked with a maximum record
size of 30000. The associated data needs to be proceeded by a record containing the keyword
BINARY ID and an identifier. This identifier is assigned by you and should be unique. It must be
passed in your application data with keyword BINARY LOCATION followed by a space and then
the identifier. You will map this application data into the BDS03. The outbound mapper will
generate a BDS segment followed by a “pass thru” record ###BIN. The associated data will not be
placed into the output file at this time. Envelopes can be generated in the mapper either in a
separate step (EBDI011M) or as deferred. A new program, EBDI065, will read the output from the
mapper and replace the BDS segment with a BDS segment that contains the associated data. The
output from this program is then passed into the outbound editor for normal processing.
Note: Full databanking and deferred enveloping is supported.
The X12 102 transaction is generated like other EDI transactions outbound. Application ID and
translation IDs are defined and mapping is completed via the Sterling Gentran online mapping
subsystem. The 102 transaction differs from other transactions because it contains a BDS segment.
The third element of this segment will contain binary data (object). Binary data has a tendency to
be quite large. The length of the binary data must be provided in the BDS:02 element. This length
must match the actual length of the binary data exactly. The binary data is not evaluated by
Sterling Gentran, rather it is passed thru for the length indicated. Length is the only attribute that is
checked. If the binary data is 760 bytes or less then the binary data can be included in the normal
application file. In this case mapping and processing will be just like all other transactions/
segments. If the binary data is greater than 760 then it must be written to a separate file (Object).
An identifier must be associated to the binary data and that identifier must be passed in the
application data into Sterling Gentran mapper so that the binary data can be inserted into the
proper place of the document.
Note: Full databanking is supported.

Associated Data – EDIFACT Packages
System Features: Tips and Techniques
Associated Data – EDIFACT Packages
Overview
By definition, associated data is data that cannot be represented in normal EDI format (i.e.,
segments and elements), such as CAD drawings and objects. Objects may include graphic, text,
parametric, tabular, image, spectral, audio, and so forth. This data is binary in format and may
contain characters that are the same as EDI separators and terminators. The data is also often very
large. To support the transfer of this special data, EDIFACT and X12 standards have incorporated
special structures within their releases.
With syntax version 4, EDIFACT has introduced the concept of a package. Normal EDI
transactions are contained in messages surrounded by UNH and UNT envelopes. These EDI
transactions consist of segments and elements. Associated data is contained in a package
surrounded by new envelope types, UNO and UNP. The data inside of the UNO/UNP envelopes is
not of normal EDI format (segment ID, element separators, and segment terminators). The UNO
segment contains information identifying the package data and indicating its length. The UNP
segment also contains similar information to allow for validation.
Need to Know Terms
To better understand the EDIFACT packages and associated data, you should be familiar with the
follow terms and their meanings.
Associated Data
Data that cannot be carried by means of either a batch or interactive EDIFACT message.
This data may be created by other applications (e.g., STEP and CAD).
Application Data File
A file that contains data created by your application(s), which is input into the outbound
Sterling Gentran process.
Application File
Together, a set of four VSAM files that describes the format of the application data file to
Sterling Gentran.
Associated Data File (ASCDTA)
A new file that is generated by the inbound editor. This sequential file will contain a
header record followed by an EDIFACT package, which Gentran does not use. Sterling
Gentran provides no file maintenance utilities, therefore, you are responsible for any
necessary maintenance.
Message
A set of segments in the order specified in a message directory, starting with the message
header and ending with the message trail equivalent to a transaction set.
Message Header
The service segment, starting and uniquely identifying a message (i.e., UNH).
Message Trailer
The service segment ending a message (i.e., UNT).
IBM Sterling Gentran:Basic for z/OS Release 6.6 User Guide
7 - 11
System Features: Tips and Techniques
Associated Data – EDIFACT Packages
Object
A stream of bits grouped in octets. The object may stand alone or can be associated with
an EDIFACT message.
Object Header
The service segment, starting and uniquely identifying an object (i.e., UNO).
Object Trailer
The service segment ending an object (i.e., UNP).
Package
An object plus its associated header and trailer segments.
Object File
Sterling Gentran has read-only permission for this new, sequential file, which is variable
blocked with a maximum record size of 3000. The file belongs to the user; therefore, you
must perform any necessary maintenance. The file contains an identifier record followed
by object records, identifier record followed by object records, and so forth. The identifier
is included in the application record for the associated data. The identifier should be the
Package Reference Number, UNO:01. For better performance, load this file in the same
order as the application records.
Transaction File
Together, a set of three VSAM files that describes the mapping of application information
to EDI fields.
Processing Inbound EDIFACT Packages
While both inbound and outbound processes support associated data, some restrictions exist
because of the size and format of this data. During inbound processing, the inbound editor
(EBDI001) will remove the EDIFACT package from the normal EDI data and write it to a separate
data set (ASCDTA). The attributes of this file are fixed blocked and the record length is 80. The
appropriate envelopes will be included in this file with the associated data in their non-expanded
form. The remaining EDI data in the input file will be processed by the inbound editor and written
to the output file as normal. If the "FULL" option for databanking is active, the associated data will
then be written to the message store in its entirety. Because no control numbers are associated with
the UNO/UNP package, the databank directory records will contain the package control reference
ID (UNO:01) as the control number for these packages. At this point, Sterling Gentran is finished
processing the inbound EDIFACT associated data. The file is available for processing through
your applications/programs.
Note: Mapping is not supported for the UNO/UNP package of
associated data.

Associated Data – EDIFACT Packages
Processing Outbound EDIFACT Packages
Outbound Sterling Gentran will create EDIFACT UNO/UNP packages, which requires special
processing. If you pass CNTL records from your application, you must include a new CNTL
record type, CNTLO. This would be in place of the CNTLT record. This record instructs the
outbound mapper to generate a UNO/UNP package. An application record that contains all the
information for the UNO segment must be defined and included in your application data. The
UNO segment will be mapped in Sterling Gentran just like other segments. The actual associated
data must be provided in a separate data set. This data set is variable blocked with a maximum
record size of 30000. The associated data needs to be proceeded by a record containing the
keyword OBJECT ID and the Package Reference ID. This Package Reference ID is the same value
that you mapped into UNO01. The outbound mapper will format the UNO and UNP segments, but
the associated data will not be placed into the output file at this time. A “pass thru” record ###OBJ
will indicate the position for the associated data. Envelopes can be generated in the mapper or they
can be generated in a separate step (EBDI011M). The new EBDI065 program will read the output
from the mapper and place the associated data into position, based on the location of the ###OBJ
record. The output from this program is then passed into the outbound editor for normal
processing. Full databanking is supported for the enveloped UNO/UNP packages, while deferred
enveloping is not supported for UNO/UNP packages.

Batch Separator
System Features: Tips and Techniques
Batch Separator
Overview
The batch separator enables you to break up inbound data by interchange into separate destination
files. This process is similar to that of the Data Router (EBDI095) and the splitter program
(EBDI015). The difference is that the batch separator allows you to separate your inbound data
before it has been processed by the Inbound Editor. The batch separator also has the ability to
identify XML data and write it to a special XML data set. Any unrecognized data is written to an
error file. The batch separator is based on the Online separator that is part of the Sterling
Gentran:Realtime and Sterling Gentran:Control products.
Several screens enable you to enter specific information to identify the data and specify the
destination file. The following fields in your EDI envelopes can be used to identify the data:
sender and receiver ID and qualifier (group and/or interchange), standard version, transaction ID,
group ID, and test/production indicator. The system separates a batch of inbound data into
individual interchanges, and then writes the interchanges to the destination files as indicated.
How the Batch Separator Works
The batch separator (EBDI930) reads the inbound EDI data. This file must consist of 80-byte
records. The batch separator processes the input file one interchange at a time. It identifies what
type of EDI data has been received. Interchange, group, and transaction header information is
written to a work file.
The batch separator can separate EDI X12, EDIFACT, TRADACOMS, and XML data into
separate destination files. As an interchange is identified it is sent to one of these lookup programs:
•
X12 Lookup (EBDI931)
•
EDIFACT Lookup (EBDI932)
•
TRADACOMS Lookup (EBDI933)
•
XML Lookup (EBDI93X)
These interchange lookup programs read the work file that holds the interchange, group, and
transaction header information. The programs then build the keys from the header segments. These
keys are then used by the interchange lookup programs to read the Priority Option records located
on the Separator control file (EDIRSEP).
Note: The EDIRSEP file was created when Sterling
Gentran:Basic was installed.
The interchange lookup programs use a specific order when reading the EDIRSEP file. When the
first match is found (i.e., the record on the file is found), the program uses that Priority Option
record to determine the destination file.
Note: For X12, because more than one type of transaction can
be in an interchange, the program continues looking up
each transaction and keeps the one with the highest
priority.
The last step of the batch separator process is to write the input data to the destination files. This is
completed by the Batch Separator Router program (EBDI945).

System Features: Tips and Techniques
Batch Separator
Determining the Destination File
The interchange lookup programs use specific keys built from the input EDI headers to read the
Priority Option Records from the EDIRSEP. These keys are constructed based on the key usage
indicators that can be found in the Separator Option record, which is also in the EDIRSEP file.
The key usage indicators are updated from the Separator Systems Options Maintenance screen
(EDIM935). The Separator Maintenance Subsystem can be accessed from the Administrative
Main Menu. The Individual Priority Option records can be added, updated, and deleted from the
Priority Options Maintenance Panel (EDIM937).
Note: The panels and programs used for updating the EDIRSEP
were added to your system during the Sterling
Gentran:Basic installation.
Example
The following settings illustrate how the Batch separator locates the appropriate Priority option
record from the EDIRSEP file.
Key Usage Indicators:
Test/Prod Use:
Y
Trn/Grp/Int Only:
T
Grp ID’s Only:
N
Sndr/Rcvr Id Only:
N
The Test/Prod Use flag of Y indicates that there may be different Priority Option records for test
and production transactions. When building the specific key the Interchange Lookup program will
use the Test/Prod indicator from the interchange (ISA15 UNB 11 or STX08)
The Trn/Grp/Int Only flag of T indicates that the Priority Option records are stored using the Trans
Set ID. When building the specific key the Tran ID will be used.
The Grp IDs Only flag of N indicates that the Priority Option records could be stored under either
the Group ID or the Interchange ID. The Interchange Lookup programs will attempt to use the
Group ID first because the Trn/Grp/Int flag is set to T.
The Sndr/Rcvr Id Only flag of N indicates that the Priority Option records could be stored under
either the Sender Ids or the Receiver Ids or both.
The following table shows how the Batch Separator uses the Key Usage Indicators and data from
the envelopes to locate the correct Priority Options record on the Separator Control File
(EDIRSEP). The table displays the order of reads that the lookup programs use to locate the
Priority Option record for X12 data when Key Usage Indicator indicates Transaction level. A
similar order is followed if the Trn/Grp/Int Only indicator is set to G or I. The G option uses the
functional group Id in place of the Transaction Set ID. The I option uses spaces. With all of these
possible combinations the Batch separator can be used to separate your inbound data for specific
processes.
Using the Key Usage Indicators from above with X12 input data the Batch Separator would start at
row 13 of the table because the Sndr/Rcvr Id Only indicator is set to N. The Test/Prod indicator
from the input data will be used. The batch separator attempts to find the Priority Option record

Batch Separator
System Features: Tips and Techniques
Determining your Separator Configuration
When you configure Separator processing, you must complete each of the phases described in the
following table to configure the processing properly. An analysis of your transactions and
processing needs will enable you to set up the batch separator to separate your input EDI data into
files that will feed your processes.
Phase
Description
1. Determine types of inbound
transactions.
Evaluate all inbound transactions for how and
when they should be processed.
2. Evaluate how the transactions
are received.
Are multiple transaction types received in the
same interchange?
3. Determine your processing
flows.
Set up JCL flows for your processes. The JCL
should contain Mapper and Editor parameters
for the transaction(s) being processed.
4. Set up the Separator header
options.
•
What key indicators are needed to identify
the types of priority ID lookups to be
performed?
•
What is to be done with unrecognized data?
•
What should be done with incomplete
interchanges?
5. Set up the Separator priority
ID options.
Enter one for each transaction, with the priority
and option assigned to it.
Phase 1. Determine types of inbound transaction.
Evaluate all of your inbound transactions to determine how and when they should be processed.
For example your purchase order (850s) processing occurs every 30 minutes but your
acknowledgements (997s) only need to process once per hour. You may want to consider
separating your acknowledgments from the purchase orders.
Phase 2. Determine how the transactions are received.
For X12, because more than one type of transaction can be in an interchange, you need to
determine if you need to set priorities for your destination files. The batch separator keeps looking
up each transaction in the interchange and keeps the one with the highest priority.
Phase 3. Determine your processing flows.
Using the information from phases 1 and 2, determine the destination files that you will need. Do
you have special flows for certain transactions or trading partners? The batch separator will allow
you to separate your inbound EDI data, based on envelope information, into the appropriate files to
feed your processes.
Set up JCL flows for your processes. The JCL should contain Editor and Mapper parameters for
the transaction(s) being processed.

The Separator Priority Options Directory screen displays a list of the Separator Priority
records set up on the system. Sample records were added to the EDIRSEP file when
Sterling Gentran:Basic was installed. A default record with an all-blank key, except for I
in the Int/Grp/Trans Ind. field, is always in the file.
The recommended approach is to set up individual lookup records for each transaction you
receive (with the sender, receiver, and version blank). However, you may choose one of
the following approaches.
4.
•
If you must process a transaction from a partner using a different method,
an alternative option is to set up another record with that partner’s sender
ID as part of the key.
•
If you receive test and production data through the same communications
channel, an alternative option is to set up separate records for the
production and test data (using the Test/Prod fields).
•
If you have started to receive a new version of the standards, an
alternative option is to set it up as a separate record and process it
accordingly (using the Version field).
Type S in the Action field to the left of the default Priority Option (spaces in Trans/Group
ID and Sender/Receiver fields). Press PF5 to transfer to the Priority Options Maintenance
screen.

The top portion of this screen (the ** KEYS ** section) enables you to enter the key for
the lookup record. The order of steps (key values) used during the lookup process is:
•
Standards that do not have group envelopes do not perform the steps that
have GS receive/sender IDs in them.
•
For each step that shows a GS version in the Version column, there are
two reads: the first with the version and a second with a blank version.
•
The key usage indicator fields may cause some of these steps to be
skipped. For example, if the Sndr/Rcvr ID Only field contains Y or S, then
the steps that include the receiver ID are skipped.

Running the Batch Separator
The JCL to run the Batch Separator (EBDI930) can be found in member EXEC930 in the
GENTRAN.V6X6.BSC.JCL library.
Note:
The GENTRAN.V6X6.BSC.JCL library was created
when Sterling Gentran:Basic was installed.
To modify EXEC930, complete the following:
1.
Add a job card.
2.
Change DISK of UNIT=DISK as required by your installation.
3.
Change the text string XXXXXX of VOLUMES ( ) as required by your installation.
4.
Change data set names as required by your Pre-installation Worksheet in Chapter 2 of the
IBM® Sterling Gentran:Basic® for z/OS® Release 6.6 Installation Guide.
Consider the following:
•
Change only the first two index levels of each data set name
(GENTRAN.V6X6). Doing so enables you to mass-change data set names.
•
Permanent Sterling Gentran:Basic files are identified with VSAM as the
third node of the data set name.
•
The destination files are identified with PGM930.SYSxxx as the third and
fourth nodes of the data set name.
5.
Add or modify JCL statements in Step2 of the JCL for each destination file that can be
created by this job. This step pre-allocates the files.
6.
Modify the parameters for the EDICNTL DD statement in Step 3 of the JCL, if necessary.
TRACE ON
This parameter will provide trace information for debugging.
REPORT DETAIL ON
This parameter will provide processing detail on the
EDISUM report.
OPEN FILE SYSxxx
Where xxx is a value between 001 – 100. You will need one
of these parameters for each destination file that can be
created. This will force an open and close of the destination
file even if no data is written to it.
Note: The TRACE ON and REPORT DETAIL ON parameters
will generate many lines of detail on the reports. Those
parameters should be used for problem resolution only.
7.
Add or modify JCL statements in Step3 of the JCL for each destination file that can be
created by this job.
8.
Read the comments within the JCL member and follow additional instructions.
9.
Submit the JCL member.
10.
Verify the job results. You should never receive a return code greater than 8. A return code
of 8 usually indicates that Sterling Gentran attempted to delete a file that does not exist.
The destination files created by EXEC930 can now be passed to your identified inbound
processes.

Binary Data – X12
Binary Data – X12
Overview
The BIN segment is an ASC X12 segment that is used to transfer binary data in a single data
segment. This segment contains two elements. The first contains the length of the Binary Data.
This is a numeric field with min of 1 and max of 15. The second element contains the Binary data
stream. There is no identification of the internal structure of the binary data. This is a binary field
with min of 1 and max of 1E+16.
The BIN segment has been around for a long time, but we have not implemented it in Sterling
Gentran until this release.
For version 004030 the BIN segment can be found in transactions 105, 176, 186, 187, 197, 240,
252, 255, 267, 268, 275, 280, 841, and 842.
The other area that the BIN segment will be used is for the Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act (HIPAA) documents. For the 275 transaction (Patient Information) the BIN
segment will contain HL7 information.
Processing Inbound X12 BIN Segments
The BIN segment is processed like other EDI segment inbound with the following exceptions:
7 - 36
•
If the binary data contained in the BIN02 is 760 or less, the BIN segment is then passed
intact to the output file for processing through the inbound mapper. No editing of the
binary data is performed. The binary data can be mapped to application records using subfielding.
•
If the binary data contained in the BIN02 has a length greater than 760 or the document
has been defined as a HIPAA document (regardless of length), the binary data is then
written to a separate data set (ASCDTA). The attributes of this file are fixed blocked and
the record length is 80. A header record precedes the associated data in the ASCDTA file.
This header record contains an identifier. The ASCDTA file is available for processing
thru the your applications/programs. Mapping is not supported for binary data greater than
760 characters. The BIN segment is written to the output file (SYS040) without the binary
data in BIN02. In its place is a keyword followed by the identifier. This will allow the
identifier to be mapped into an application record. This identifier can then be used to
retrieve the binary data during your application process. The rest of the EDI data in the
input file will be processed by the Inbound editor and written to the output file as usual.
•
If the "FULL" databanking option is active, the BIN segment is then written to the

The data in BIN:02 will be validated for its length using the BIN:01
element. If the terminator is not found in the next position following
the indicated length – an error message is generated and a fatal error is
triggered. Condition code 16. All processing stops.
•
BIN01 will be checked – If the length is less than 761 then the BIN
segment will be processed thru the normal editor flow. If the length is
greater than 760 then the BIN segment will be written to the ASCDTA
file.
•
For BIN segments with binary data of length greater than 760, the
binary data will be replaced with a tag in BIN02 in the format of
BINARY LOCATION ###################################.
Where ### represents the identifier that was used to write the binary
data to the ASCDTA file. The tag information will then be available to
the mapper so you can map it into an application field.
•
For HIPAA documents containing BIN segments regardless of length,
the binary data will be replaced with a tag in BIN02 in the format of

Processing Outbound X12 BIN Segments
Transactions containing the BIN segment are generated like other EDI transactions outbound.
Application ID and translation IDs are defined and mapping is completed via the Sterling Gentran
online mapping subsystem. These transactions differ from other transactions because they contains
a BIN segment. The second element of this segment will contain binary data (object). Binary data
has a tendency to be quite large. The length of the binary data must be provided in the BIN:01
element. This length must match the actual length of the binary data exactly. The binary data is not
evaluated by Sterling Gentran, rather it is passed thru for the length indicated. Length is the only
attribute that is checked. If the binary data is 760 bytes or less then the binary data can be included
in the normal application file. In this case mapping and processing will be just like all other
transactions/segments. If the binary data is greater than 760 then it must be written to a separate
file (Object). An identifier must be associated to the binary data and that identifier must be passed
in the application data into Sterling Gentran mapper so that the binary data can be inserted into the
proper place of the document.
Note: Full databanking is supported.
The Object file is a user owned file; therefore, you must maintain this file. No utilities have been
included to maintain this file.

•
INSTREAM and CNTL pass thru are supported.
•
Binary data that is less than 761 characters long can be passed to the
mapper in the application data file. Normal mapping can be used to
map the binary data into the BIN:02.
•
Binary data greater than 760 must be passed to Sterling Gentran in a
separate file (Object). This file is variable blocked with a maximum
record size of 30000. The key to this file must be passed in an
application record to the mapper and be mapped into the BIN:02
element.
•
For binary data that is passed on a separate file (regardless of length)
an application field must be passed to that mapper that contains the
keyword BINARY LOCATION followed by a space and then the
identifier to the Object file. This keyword will trigger the generation of
a ###BIN record. This record will contain the binary identifier. The
BIN segment will be mapped and written to the output file. The
###BIN record will be written after the BIN segment. A new program
EBDI065 will be run to insert the binary data into the BIN segment.

Change Audit in Sterling Gentran:Basic
Change Audit in Sterling Gentran:Basic
Overview
Collecting and monitoring an audit trail of changes made to key files is an important tool in
controlling and managing the integrity of your Sterling Gentran processing environment. The
Change Audit feature of Sterling Gentran:Basic can help with this task. In the Sterling Gentran
Change Audit system, the online programs that are used to maintain Sterling Gentran files (for
example, online partner, standards, and mapping files) track changes and provide that information
in Change Audit files. Sterling Gentran batch utility programs also provide information to the
Change Audit system to track maintenance events. There is a separate file for each functional file
area (for example, Partner, Standards, Error Message, and Separator). Change Audit is a
configurable feature, so you can keep Change Audit information only for the functional area(s)
that you have determined is necessary to track. The system configuration file contains switches
that tell Sterling Gentran where to track modifications. An online subsystem allows you to quickly
view change history. Batch reports and utilities are provided for inquiries and maintenance of the
Change Audit files.

Subsystems that do not support Change Audit
The Partner Change Audit file contains records for the partner profile and the Xref file or Partrel
file based on the Trading Profile Mode indicated in the system configuration file. The information
contained in these files is different, so separate Change Audit screens are used to display the
partner, Xref, and Partrel Change Audit records. If using Trading Profile Mode Relationship,
option 2 on the above screen would say Partrel CA Directory and the programs will transfer
to the correct screens for Partrel.
There are three Change Audit screens for each file system—directory, status, and status detail. The
directory screen displays a list of the entities that were found on the Change Audit file. For
example, if you are viewing the Application Change Audit Directory (EDIM560), the screen will
contain a list of all Application IDs that exist on the Application Change Audit file.
The status screen displays a list of all records found on the Change Audit file for the indicated
entity. Filters are available on these screens to allow you to restrict the amount of information that
is displayed. Typical filters are records type and from/to date and times. PF keys allow you to
scroll forward and backward in the records for the indicated entity. You can also scroll to the next
entity on the file. The detail status screen displays the detail information for a specific Change

A Header Change Audit record was created when the Transaction ID was added in Step 1.
This Change Audit record has an Update Code of A to indicate that the Transaction header
record was added to the Transaction Header file. Segment and Element Change Audit
records were created when the copy was completed in Step 2. There is a Change Audit
record for every segment and element record added to the Transaction Segment and
Element files. These records are identified with an update code of A. A header Change
Audit record was created with an Update Code of U (update) when the copy was
completed in Step 2. This was created because the copy from translation ID was updated
on the Transaction header record. A Change Audit record with an update code of U was
written for the Extended Mapping change in Step 3.

Change Audit Maintenance
Change Audit files can become very large depending on the amount of additions, deletions, and
updates that are performed on your Sterling Gentran master files. Batch maintenance programs can
be used to control the amount of information that is carried in your files. A housekeeping function
allows you to archive or delete Change Audit records based on a retention days value provided in
the control cards. The Purge function allows you to archive or delete audit records based on
selection criteria. These include date and time and entity IDs (such as Application ID or Partner
ID/Qualifier). The Restore function allows you to selectively restore Change Audit records from a
sequential archive file to your VSAM Change Audit file. Selection criteria gives you the ability to
restore based on date and time or a specific entity ID.

Note: Special information for EBDI093 Partner Change Audit
Maintenance:
Because there are two record types in the Partner Change
Audit file (Partner and Xref/Partrel), the housekeeping
function will delete and archive records with both record
types. However, the Purge and Restore functions only
affect one record type per execution of the program.
Purging and restoring both Partner and Xref/Partrel
Change Audit records requires two executions of
EBDI093.
Sterling Gentran Change Audit System
The Sterling Gentran Change Audit system consists of the following components:
•
•
•
•
•
•
VSAM Change Audit files and sequential Change Audit archive files
System Configuration file: Record 1
Online programs and batch utilities that generate Change Audit records
Online subsystem to view Change Audit records
Batch inquiry programs
Batch maintenance programs
Change Audit Files
There is a VSAM Change Audit file and a sequential Change Audit archive file for each of the
Sterling Gentran functional areas. The VSAM Change Audit file contains records that describe
modifications that have occurred to the information contained in the functional area of Sterling
Gentran. The sequential Change Audit archive file contains Change Audit records that have been
archived from the VSAM file by the Batch Maintenance Utility. These files were defined when
you performed your installation of Sterling Gentran JCL member DEFCA defined and initialized
the files. (See Chapter 3 of the IBM® Sterling Gentran:Basic® for z/OS® Release 6.6 Installation
Guide for more information.)
The Partner VSAM Change Audit file contains change information for changes made to records
on the partner file, the inbound and outbound control files, and the Xref or Partrel file (depending
on the Trading Profile mode indicated in the System Configuration file). The sequential archive for
partner Change Audit contains Change Audit records that have been selected for archiving by
batch maintenance.

IBM Sterling Gentran:Basic for z/OS Release 6.6 User Guide
Change Audit in Sterling Gentran:Basic
System Features: Tips and Techniques
The Standards VSAM Change Audit file contains change information for the thirteen standards
files including version, transaction, segment, element, dictionary, activity, four code files, and the
association file. Changes to the segment description file are reported under “segment” changes,
and changes to the element description file are reported under “element” changes. The Standards
Change Audit Archive file contains archived Change Audit records from the Standards VSAM
Change Audit file.
The Application VSAM Change Audit file contains Change Audit records that detail any
maintenance performed on the Application Header, Record, Field, and Link files. These four files
together define the applications that are used by the Inbound and Outbound Mapper programs.
There is a sequential archive file for Application that contains Change Audit records that were
archived by the batch maintenance program for the Application VSAM Change Audit file.
The Transaction VSAM Change Audit file contains change information for the three Mapping
Transaction files: Transaction header, segment, and element. These three files together define the
maps that are used by the Inbound and Outbound Mapper programs. Execution of the batch
maintenance program for the Transaction VSAM Change Audit file in archive mode results in
records being written to the sequential Transaction Change Audit Archive file.
The Code Table VSAM Change Audit file contains change information for the four Mapping
Code Table files: code define, data, code, and validation files. The Code Table Change Audit
Archive file contains archived Change Audit records.
The Security VSAM Change Audit file contains change information for changes made to records
on the Security file. The sequential archive for security Change Audit contains Change Audit
records that have been selected for archiving by batch maintenance.
The Error Message VSAM Change Audit file contains change information for changes made to
records on the Error Message and Control file. The sequential archive for Error message Change
Audit contains Change Audit records that have been selected for archiving by batch maintenance.
The System Configuration VSAM Change Audit file contains change information for changes
made to Configuration records on the System Configuration File. The sequential archive for
configuration Change Audit contains Change Audit records that have been selected for archiving
by batch maintenance.
The Global Parameter VSAM Change Audit file contains change information for changes made
to the inbound (GI) and outbound (GO) global parameter records on the System Configuration
File. The sequential archive for Global parameter Change Audit contains Change Audit records
that have been selected for archiving by batch maintenance.
The Separator VSAM Change Audit file contains change information for changes made to the
Separator Systems option record or Priority option records on the Separator file. The sequential
archive for separator Change Audit contains Change Audit records that have been selected for
archiving by batch maintenance.

How are Change Audit records generated?
Because Sterling Gentran provides several ways to modify Sterling Gentran files, there are several
ways that Change Audit records can be generated. The majority of record changes occur in the
Sterling Gentran online interface. Records are added, updated, and deleted through the Sterling
Gentran screens. As modifications are made, Change Audit records are written to the appropriate
VSAM Change Audit files. Add and delete functions result in a Change Audit record being created
for the affected entity. An update function results in a Change Audit record being written for each
field that has been changed. Specific information about the online generation of Change Audit
records is provided in the descriptions for each of the functional areas later in this chapter.
Another way to add records to the partner, application, transaction, and/or code table files is by
using the Upload/Unload process (EDIM235). This process results in the addition of several
records to the target file. When the affected entity, Partner ID, Application ID, Transaction ID, or
Table ID is added to the file, a Change Audit record is written to the appropriate VSAM Change
Audit file to reflect the action. For example, a Change Audit record is written marking the event of
adding/replacing a Map (Transaction ID) by the Upload/Unload process. The same process applies
to partner, application, and code tables.
Batch copy and file maintenance programs are also used to apply changes to Sterling Gentran files.
These processes result in the addition, replacement, deletion, resynchronization, or renumbering of
many records, and these batch utilities generate a Change Audit record to describe the event that
has occurred.
What information do the Change Audit records track?
The Change Audit records contain the information necessary to track and identify the
modifications that have occurred to the files that have been selected for auditing.
All Change Audit records contain the following information:
7 - 56
•
•
•
•
•
Date and time that the modification was applied to the Sterling Gentran file
Sterling Gentran user ID of the person who made the change (online only)
A function code to describe the type of change that was made
The name of the program where the change occurred
Key information that identifies the record that was modified
For example, the Partner ID and Qualifier for a modified partner record would be loaded
to the partner Change Audit record describing a header record modification. If the Partner
record was a transaction record then the transaction ID would also be provided in the
Change Audit record.
•
A record type along with Key information identifying the modified record
Each subsystem has its own record types. For example, Mapping Transaction has record
types H (header), S (segment), and E (element). These two pieces of information should
be enough to identify the Sterling Gentran record that was modified.
IBM Sterling Gentran:Basic for z/OS Release 6.6 User Guide
Change Audit in Sterling Gentran:Basic
System Features: Tips and Techniques
In addition, Change Audit records for updates also contain the following information:
•
•
•
A text description of the modified field (Only valid for updates.)
A copy of the Before Value (Only valid for updates.)
A copy of the After Value (Only valid for updates.)
Creating Change Audit records
To create Change Audit records, two things must occur: the allocation of the VSAM Change Audit
and archive files during the installation of Sterling Gentran:Basic and the enabling of the Change
Audit function by file subsystem. Once these two events have occurred, Sterling Gentran begins
tracking all modifications made to those files that have been enabled for auditing.
The rest of this section describes each of the functional areas and includes specific details about
the generation of the Change Audit information by the online interface and the batch utilities.

Change Audit in Sterling Gentran:Basic
Partner
Overview
Change Audit records for Partner can be generated when changes are made through the online
interface, the Unload/Upload facility, or batch utilities.
The descriptions for the online interface includes a table containing the following five columns
that are described below: Function, Number of Change Audit Records Generated, Record Type,
Function Code, and Source. This information will help you when you are viewing the Change
Audit information using the online Change Audit interface or the batch inquiry reports.
Function
This column describes the action on the partner online maintenance screens that triggered
the generation of the Change Audit record.
Number of Change Audit Records Generated
This column indicates the number of Change Audits that you can expect to be generated.
An add or delete function usually results in a single Change Audit record being created.
An update function generates a Change Audit record for each field that is modified.
Record Type
This column indicates the type of Change Audit record that is written to the Change Audit
file. The Change Audit record contains a record type to reflect the standards file record
that was modified (version record or transaction record).
Function Code
The Change Audit record contains a function code to indicate what action caused the
Change Audit information to be generated.
Source
The Change Audit record includes a source that contains the name of the Sterling Gentran
program that created the Change Audit record. The CICS Sterling Gentran program names
are affected by program image, so “PIM” represents the program image for the region that
created the Change Audit record.
Online Sterling Gentran Interface
The Partner subsystem supports the Change Audit feature. If the Partner Change Audit feature has
been enabled, the online screens will generate partner Change Audit records when records are
added, deleted, or updated for the partner file, the inbound and outbound control files, and the Xref
or Partrel files. The following are the trading profile modes that are supported: partner qualifier,
mixed, and relationship.
The partner information for control, group, and transaction is physically located on multiple files
(partner, inbound control, and outbound control files). For Change Audit purposes, auditing is
performed at the logical record level (control, group, and transaction), not at a physical record
level. Changes to control number information are reported under the control, group, or transaction,
not under the inbound or outbound control files.
The following table contains a list of the online partner maintenance programs that will generate
Change Audit records if the Change Audit feature is enabled on the System Configuration record 1

Note: Copying from this screen results in the addition of all partner records for the indicated partner

(header, control, group, transaction, data separation, user, name and address, and error
rejection).
Unload/Upload facility (EDIM235)
The Unload/Upload facility can be used to copy (add) an existing partner from one file to another,
such as from test region to production region. This process uses the online background program
EDIR087 to write records to the partner files. A Change Audit record is written to the Partner
Change Audit file to track the addition of the partner ID. If any Xref/Partrel records are written
during the execution of this upload process, then a Change Audit record is created for each Xref/
Partrel record that is added.
See Unload/Upload Facility on page 7 - 159 for more information.
Batch Utilities
The Partner Copy Utility (EBDI087) is used to copy an existing partner profile from one file to
another. Xref or Partrel records may be associated with the partner profile and will be affected by
the copy process. Depending on parameter settings, the partner may be renamed and it may either
be added to the target file or it may replace existing partner records on the target file. If the partner
is not renamed and the partner does not exist on the target file, then the Xref or Partrel records will
be copied. If the partner is renamed, the Xref or Partrel records associated with it will not be
copied. If the partner is not renamed and the partner exists on the target file, then the existing Xref
or Partrel records will be deleted and the copied Xref or Partrel records will be added. If the

System Features: Tips and Techniques
Change Audit in Sterling Gentran:Basic
partner is renamed and replaced by the batch utility, then the existing Xref or Partrel records will
be deleted from the target file. This is important because it affects the Change Audit records that
are generated.
EBDI087 generates a single Change Audit record documenting the copy of the partner profile. If
the partner is added, the Change Audit record will indicate “add” in the function code. If the
partner is replaced, the Change Audit record will indicate “replace” in the function code. If the
Xref or Partrel records are copied, there will be a Change Audit record generated for each record
written. Change Audit records indicating a delete for Xref or Partrel may be generated if a partner
is renamed and replaced by the batch utility program.
Note: When executing the Batch Partner Copy, make sure that
the EDICFG system configuration file and the EDIPCHA
Partner Change Audit file reflect the data set names for
the target region.

Error Message
Overview
Change Audit records for the Error Message and Control file can be generated when changes are
made through the online interface and the EBDIT13 batch utility.
Online Sterling Gentran Interface
The Error Message administrative subsystem supports the Change Audit feature. If the Error
Message Change Audit feature has been enabled, the online screens will generate Error Message
Change Audit records when records are added, deleted, or updated for the Error Message and
Control file. The online Partner subsystem can also update the Error message and Control file for
Error Rejection. If the Error Message Change Audit feature has been enabled, a Change Audit
record will be generated by the EDIM055 Partner error rejection screen if the add, update, or
delete results in an update to the Error Message and Control file.
Sterling Gentran error messages (record type “G”) can only be updated using the online Error
Message subsystem. There is one Change Audit record generated for each field that is changed.
User error messages (record type “U”) can be added, updated, and deleted via the online Error
message subsystem. When a User error message is added or deleted, a Change Audit record is
written to the Error message Change Audit file. There will be one Change Audit record generated
for each field that is changed on the User error message.
The following table contains a list of the online Error Message maintenance programs that will

Configuring JCL Submission and User Security
System Features: Tips and Techniques
Configuring JCL Submission and User Security
Introduction
Under standard run parameters, Sterling Gentran:Basic may submit batch jobs through the Internal
Reader. The jobs submitted can generate a Partner Print Report, Standards Print Report, and
Standards Sequence/Application Sequence Mapping Reports. Sterling Gentran:Basic enables you
to control the submission of the JCL and provide parameters to the JCL, including providing a
different job card.
Features
The features described in this section enable you to control the submission of JCL from the CICS
system.
Batch Submit Exit
The Batch Submit Exit enables you to have a customer program perform the submission of JCL.
This allows the customer to bypass using the Internal Reader by using a CICS interface to a
scheduler package, or to provide capabilities to track and control any jobs submitted.
User Jobcard Substitution
A user jobcard substitution feature enables you to submit JCL from a screen with a specific user
jobcard substituted for the one present in the JCL.
For example, in the Sterling Gentran:Basic subsystem, you can request printed reports. You could
change the Job name via an online screen, but the remainder of the jobcard is unchanged. With this
feature, you can store individual jobcards on the EDIRJCL file (under the individual Sterling
Gentran user ID) and the system substitutes these for the jobcard found in the JCL.
User ID for Background Tasks
This feature enables you to assign a user ID to the JCL Submit transaction (EDIP).
By using the user ID, you can set security levels for that ID without having to give access to all
individuals.

The User ID for Background tasks and Batch Submit Exit are optional fields on the Online
Report Options Configuration record. The system uses the User ID for the Online Batch
Initiator (transaction EDIP/program EDIBOBI). The Batch Submit exit is used when the
Online Batch Initiator program (EDIBOBI/transaction EDIP) runs. A sample program
EDIBXIT is in the UTILITY.SOURCE library.
User ID (Security)
This section differentiates between two types of user IDs: the Sterling Gentran user ID and a CICS
user ID.
The Sterling Gentran user ID is the signon ID you enter in the User ID field on the Sterling
Gentran signon screen (EDIM000) to access the Sterling Gentran screens. The CICS user ID
provides access to the CICS system. These IDs can be identical for a given user.
The CICS User ID
The user ID entered on the Configuration record will be a CICS user ID that is to be used by the
EDIP transaction. It must have full access authority to the Sterling Gentran files and have authority
to write to the Internal Reader.
Jobcard Override
Specific jobcards can be added to the EDIRJCL file, which the EDIP transaction will use as a
substitute for the jobcards present in the submitted JCL. The jobcards are stored with the Sterling
Gentran user ID as its primary key.
7 - 86
IBM Sterling Gentran:Basic for z/OS Release 6.6 User Guide
Configuring JCL Submission and User Security
System Features: Tips and Techniques
When EDIP is running, it checks whether the user ID has a set of JCL stored for it. It will then
substitute this JCL for the jobcard. The jobcard is identified as the first record in the file and all
following records until the first EXEC card or a card with a specific keyword value. The keyword
value is '//* JOBCARD END' in the first 15 columns (the remainder of the card should be blank).
This enables appropriate security and routing information for people submitting JCL from CICS.
Batch Submit Exit
The EDIP transaction uses the Batch Submit exit program instead of the Internal Reader when it
submits the JCL. A communication area is passed to the user program, which provides the system
image, the program image, the JCL name to be submitted, the job name to be placed on the
jobcard, the name of a TSQ containing any parameter records being sent, the name of a TSQ
containing any JCL found on the EDIRJCL file, the user ID of the individual requesting the
submit, the reason for the submission, a return code for the exit, and a message area for the exit.
A sample program (EDIBXIT) demonstrates the proper procedure to use for the Batch Submit exit
program. You must customize this program to perform the functions required at your site.
If the Batch Submit exit field is left blank on the Configuration Maintenance screen, the EDIP
transaction writes the data to the internal reader.
Example User Jobcard Setup
Scenario
A user named Mary Smith needs to submit JCL from the Sterling Gentran system, have the jobs
run in a special class, and have the output routed to a special printer.
Resulting Example Setup
Her ID is set up on the security maintenance screen.

Mary’s Sterling Gentran User ID is SMITH. To provide her with a jobcard that is different
than the default jobcard in the EXEC036O JCL, the following tasks must be completed:
•
Set up her jobcard in a PDS.
•
Use JCL member EXECJCLX to add the jobcard to the EDIRJCL file.
•
Verify that the EXEC036O JCL is setup properly to substitute the Jobcard.
The following provides details on completing these tasks.

Inbound Application Constant Records
Inbound Application Constant Records
Overview
Inbound Application Constant Records enable you to write inbound application records that
contain only literal and reserved word constant values at certain specifically defined times in the
inbound mapping process. No "IF" logic is associated with these records. These records cannot
appear in the middle of a loop. You can simply map any available reserved word constants or
literal values to these records.
The different types of application constant records are based on when the records are generated in
the mapping process. The following list describes the types of application constant records.
End of Section Records
End of section records enable you to write application constant records at the end of each section
in the application definition. You may want to use an end of section record if you want to write out
an application record that contains only literal values and reserved word constants, showing a total
value that was calculated in the detail section of the application.
Note: End of section records can appear after any section in the
application definition. They cannot appear in the middle
of a section. A section is any area in the application
document. Valid sections are H, D, 1 – 9, and S.
Trailer Records
Trailer records enable you to write application constant records that are triggered by reading in an
EDI envelope trailer in the input to the Inbound Mapper. There are three types of trailer records:
•
The system writes transaction trailer records when the Inbound Mapper reads a
transaction trailer envelope (SE, UNT, MTR).
•
The system writes group trailer records when the Inbound Mapper reads a group
trailer envelope (GE, UNE, EOB).
•
The system writes interchange trailer records when the Inbound Mapper reads an
interchange trailer envelope (IEA, UNZ, END).
You may want to use a trailer record if you want to actually map the trailer segment into your
application data or if you want to write a record containing totals at the end of each transaction,
group, and/or interchange. Reserved word constants are available that contain the element values
for all elements in the EDI trailer envelopes.
See the topic “Reserved Word Constants” in the Glossary to see all of the reserved word constants
available that are associated with the trailer envelopes (SE, GE, IEA, UNT, UNE, UNZ, MTR,
EOB, END).
End of Run Records
End of run records enable you to write an application record at the end of a single run of the
Inbound Mapper. You may want to use an end of run record if you want to write an application
record that contains totals for the entire Inbound Mapper run.

The example shows end of section, transaction trailer, group trailer, interchange trailer and end of
run application constant records.
Note the following information when adding these application constant records using the
Application Records screen:
•
The Loop ID value must be spaces because an application constant record cannot
be inside a loop.
•
The Max Use value must be 1.
•
A value of C in the Area field denotes an end of section record. This record must
be at the end of a section (area) and not in the middle of a section (area). Records
with an Area value of C can be located throughout the application and you can
have several records in Area C in a row if needed.
•
A value of T in the Area field denotes a transaction trailer record.
•
A value of G in the Area field denotes a group trailer record. We recommend you
make all records with an Area value of G optional, because the system will write
these records only when it finds a group trailer in the input EDI data. Making
these records optional prevents errors that would denote missing mandatory

•
Records with an Area value of T, G, or I should appear after the last application
record in your application definition that is not a trailer or end of run application
constant record.

Inbound Application Constant Records
•
A value of I in the Area field denotes an interchange trailer record. We
recommend you make all records with an Area value of I optional since the
system will write these records only when it finds an interchange trailer in the
input EDI data. Making these records optional prevents errors that would denote
missing mandatory application records if you have multiple transactions in a
single interchange.
•
A value of R in the Area field denotes an end of run record. There should be no
records of a different Area type following a record in Area R. We recommend that
you make all records with an Area value of R optional since these records will be
written only at the end of the run. Making these records optional prevents errors
denoting missing mandatory application records if you have multiple transactions
in a single run of the Inbound Mapper.
•
You can have more than one record defined in your application definition having
the same Area value (C, T, G, I, or R).

Interchange Version
Interchange Version
Overview
The Interchange Version feature allows you to generate and process multiple versions of an
interchange level EDI envelope (e.g., ISA, UNB, STX) using a single partner profile. When the
Interchange Version feature is enabled, all partner profile reads done at the interchange level will
be performed using your specified version ID in the key of the partner record.
Note: Interchange Version is available for Outbound processing
only, and can be used alone or in addition to the Group
Version and Transaction Version features.
Enabling Interchange Version
To active the Interchange Version feature, perform the following:
1.
On the Sterling Gentran Main Menu, type 4 in the selection field to access the
Administrative Main Menu.
2.
Type 3 in the selection field to access the Configuration Directory.
3.
In the A (Action Code) field to the left of 0 (On-Line Processing Options) in the Record
Type field, type S and press PF5 to access the Configuration Maintenance (EDIM231)
screen.
4.
Type Y in the Interchange Version field to activate this feature.

Interchange Version
System Features: Tips and Techniques
Why Use the Interchange Version Feature?
Interchange Version could be used to allow the generation of two different ISA envelopes for the
same partner profile. This would enable you to send an ISA using two different interchange
version Ids (e.g., 00401 and 00403) to the same partner. Another reason to use the Interchange
Version feature would be if you need to send both a syntax version 3 and syntax version 4 UNB
envelope using the same partner profile.
How Do You Set up the Partner Profile?
Before setting up your partner profiles to use Interchange Version, you will need to determine what
value you wish to use in the Version field. Any alphanumeric value from 1 to 12 characters can be
used.
To use the Interchange Version feature for accessing interchange level partner control information,
including outbound control numbers when generating envelopes, type the desired value in the
Version field on the Control Information (EDIM015) screen.

Interchange Version
System Features: Tips and Techniques
Note that the Interchange Version feature is completely independent of the Group Version and
Transaction Version features. If you have enabled the Group Version and Transaction Version
options on the Configuration file, you will use the version that is used to compliance check the
document to populate the Version field on the group and transaction level Partner screens. You do
not have to use the compliance version in the Version field for Interchange Version, any
alphanumeric value can be used. Because there is no link between the Interchange Version and the
Group/Transaction Version options, if the value in the Version field on the Control Information
(EDIM015) screen is the same value as the Version field on a group and/or transaction level
Partner screen, deleting the interchange control record from the Control Information screen will
not delete the group and transaction records using that same version.

Interchange Version
Outbound Processing
How Does the Outbound Process Know Which Interchange Version Value to Use When
Reading the Partner Profile?
There are four ways you can provide the value you wish to use as the Interchange Version when
reading the partner profile:
•
You can put the Interchange Version value in the SYS001 parameter file. The 12-digit
value should be placed in the third record of the SYS001 parameter file in positions 4
through 15.
•
If you are using INSTREAM processing, you can put the Interchange Version value in
positions 133 through 144 of the ###PARM record in the application data. Any value,
including spaces, on the ###PARM record will override the Interchange Version value
found on the SYS001 parameter record.
•
If you are passing CNTL records in the application data to the Outbound Mapper, the
desired Interchange Version should be placed in positions 169 through 180 on the CNTL
"I" record that precedes the document(s) to be processed. Any Interchange Version value,
including spaces, on the CNTL "I" record will override an Interchange Version on the
###PARM record and SYS001 parameter record.
•
You can put the Interchange Version value as a field in the application data. Using the
Application Partner Reference (EDIM555) screen, you can indicate which field in the
application data is holding the Interchange Version value. This field should be in an
application record that is located in the header section of the application definition. The
Outbound Mapper will only use the Interchange Version field found in the application data
if the SYS001 parameter record, ###PARM record (if used), and CNTL "I" record do not
have an Interchange Version specified.

Interchange Version
System Features: Tips and Techniques
How Does the Outbound Process Handle Reading the Partner Profile When the
Interchange Version Feature is Used?
The Outbound Mapper will perform all interchange level partner profile reads using the
Interchange Version value you supplied in the Partner record key. If no version specific Partner
record is found, spaces will be moved to the Version field in the key of the Partner record and the
partner profile will be read again. If no version is supplied, spaces will be used in the version field
in the Partner record key when reading the partner profile. The Outbound Mapper will pass the
value you supplied for the Interchange Version on to the Outbound Editor for its processing.
The Outbound Editor will read all Partner Error Rejection records using the Interchange Version
value passed from the Outbound Mapper. The Outbound Editor will read the Partner Error
Rejection records using this value in the Partner record key. If this value is not spaces and a
version specific Partner Error Rejection record is not found, spaces will be moved to the Version
field in the key of the Partner record and the partner profile will be read again. If you do not want
the Outbound Editor to read Partner Error Rejection records using the Interchange Version value
but you do have the Interchange Version field on the Configuration field set to "Y", you may use
the run-time Global parameter "INTERCHANGE VERSION ERROR REJECTION OFF". With
this parameter in your SYS030 parameter file, the Outbound Editor will always read Partner Error
Rejection records with spaces in the version field in the Partner record key.
The Outbound Editor will read all Partner Data Separation records using the Interchange Version
value passed from the Outbound Mapper. The Outbound Editor will read the Partner Data
Separation records using this value in the Partner record key. If this value is not spaces and a
version specific Partner Data Separation is not found, spaces will be moved to the Version field in
the key of the Partner record and the partner profile will be read again. If you do not want the
Outbound Editor to read Partner Data Separation records using the Interchange Version value but
you do have the Interchange Version field on the Configuration field set to "Y", you may use the
Run-time Global parameter "INTERCHANGE VERSION SPLIT OFF". With this parameter in
your SYS030 parameter file, the Outbound Editor will always read Partner Data Separation
records with spaces in the version field in the Partner record key.

Multiple Envelope IDs
Step 2
System Features: Tips and Techniques
Set up the Partner Profile.
The Multiple Envelope ID field, which is located on partner profile screens, is used as a
part of the key to the partner records. The Multiple Envelope ID is entered at the
interchange level on the Control Information (EDIM015) screen. The Multiple Envelope
ID is displayed on the partner group and transaction screens, but can not be modified on
these screens.
To create a partner with a Multiple Envelope ID, perform the following:
a.
On the Control Information screen, the Multiple Envelope ID field must match the
value found in the Interchange Header Option field. Type a valid value in the
Multiple Envelope ID field.
b.
Because the Multiple Envelope ID is a part of the key to the partner records, you
can not change the Multiple Envelope ID field by pressing the PF10 update key.
To add a new Multiple Envelope ID for a partner, press PF9 to create a new set of
interchange, group and transaction records related to the Multiple Envelope ID.
Note: To remove a Multiple Envelope ID for a partner, press
PF11 to delete the existing interchange, group and
transaction records related to the specified Multiple
Envelope ID.

Multiple Envelope IDs
System Features: Tips and Techniques
Provide the Multiple Envelope ID to Sterling Gentran for processing.
Step 3
Because the Multiple Envelope ID on the partner profile is a part of the key to the partner
records, the correct ID must be provided to Sterling Gentran to enable Sterling Gentran to
read the desired partner profile records during processing.
This step explains inbound and outbound processing for Multiple Envelope IDs and how
to provide the correct ID to Sterling Gentran.
Outbound Processing
For outbound processing, there are several ways the Multiple Envelope ID can be presented to the
Outbound Mapper:
•
Enter the desired Multiple Envelope ID in positions 1 through 3 on the third record of the
SYS001 parameter record. This method will use the Multiple Envelope ID found on the
run-time parameter record when accessing the partner profile.
•
When using ##INSTREAM processing to process multiple application types in one run,
enter the desired Multiple Envelope in positions 115 through 117 on the instream
###PARM record. This method will pull the Multiple Envelope ID from the ###PARM
record that precedes the document(s) to be processed when accessing the partner profile.
Any Multiple Envelope ID value, including spaces, on the ###PARM record will override
a Multiple Envelope ID value on the SYS001 parameter record.
•
When passing CNTL records in the application data to the Outbound Mapper, the desired
Multiple Envelope ID may be placed in positions 216 through 218 on the CNTL " I "
(interchange) record. This method will pull the Multiple Envelope ID from the CNTL " I "
record that precedes the document(s) to be processed when accessing the partner profile.
Any Multiple Envelope ID value, including spaces, on the CNTL " I " record will override
a Multiple Envelope ID value on the ###PARM record and SYS001 parameter record.
•
The desired Multiple Envelope ID can be passed to the Outbound Mapper in the
application data itself. The name of the application field containing the Multiple Envelope
ID, as found in the application definition, must be specified on the Application Partner
Reference (EDIM555) screen to enable the Outbound Mapper to pull the field from the
application data. The value found in the specified application field will be used when
accessing the partner profile. The Outbound Mapper will only use the Multiple Envelope
ID value found in the application data if the SYS001 parameter record, ###PARM record
(if used), and CNTL " I " record do not have a Multiple Envelope ID defined.
Note: The application field to be used as the Multiple Envelope
ID must be located in the header section of the
application definition.

Inbound Processing
For inbound processing, the Multiple Envelope ID to be used when accessing the partner profile is
determined by the incoming EDI data. For example, if the Multiple Envelope Feature is enabled
and an X12 document containing and ISA envelope is received, the value ISA will be used in the
Multiple Envelope ID to access the partner file.

Multiple Envelope IDs
System Features: Tips and Techniques
Access the Partner Profile.
Step 4
If the Multiple Envelope feature is not enabled on the Configuration file, Sterling Gentran
will always perform reads against the partner profile using a value of spaces in the
Multiple Envelope ID. If there are partner records in the partner profile that have a
Multiple Envelope ID that is not equal to spaces, these records will never be accessed.
If the Multiple Envelope feature is enabled on the Configuration file, Sterling Gentran will
perform reads against the partner profile using the Multiple Envelope ID provided.
For inbound processing, if a partner record is not found using the incoming envelope
segment ID, Sterling Gentran will perform a second read against the partner profile using a
value of spaces in the Multiple Envelope ID field.
For outbound processing, if a partner record is not found using the specified Multiple
Envelope ID, an error will be generated and the document will be suspended. If no specific
Multiple Envelope ID is provided, spaces will be used when reading the partner profile.
Scenario
Currently, partner ID ABCD is being used to process X12 purchase orders (850). Soon, you will
need to generate outbound payment orders with this same partner using the EDIFACT PAYMUL
transaction.
For this scenario you would need to perform the following:
1.
Set the Multiple Envelope Enabled switch on the Configuration Maintenance screen to a Y.
2.
Modify partner ID ABCD on the partner profile.
Partner ABCD currently has the following records at the interchange, group and transaction levels:
Interchange Level
Partner ID
Multiple Envelope ID
Interchange Header Option
ABCD
ISA
Partner ID
Multiple Envelope ID
Functional Group

To process the outbound EDIFACT PAYMUL transaction, the following records will need to be
added to the partner profile for partner ID ABCD:

3.
Provide the Multiple Envelope ID to Sterling Gentran for processing.
The payment order application will always be processed in a separate run. The Multiple Envelope
ID can be provided on the third record of the SYS001 parameter file. The parameter file will look
as follows:
4.
//SYS001
PAYORD
UNB
/*
DD
*
Y 11N00 0
Process the data.
When accessing the partner profile, Sterling Gentran will use the value of "UNB" found in the
SYS001 parameter file to read the partner records to select the map and build the envelopes per the
partner specifications when processing the payment orders.
When processing outbound purchase orders, no Multiple Envelope ID will need to be provided
since the Multiple Envelope ID field for those partner records is spaces. Sterling Gentran will
automatically use a default value of spaces in the Multiple Envelope ID when no other value is
provided. No changes will be necessary to your application data, JCL or parameters to process the
purchase orders.

Repeating Data Elements
Overview
Repeating Elements is a new standards feature that became available with the ASC X12 004030
and EDIFACT D 99B releases. This feature allows simple and composite elements to appear
multiple times in a segment without each occurrence being explicitly defined in the segment
layout. Review the DMG segment in ASC X12 version 004030 or the COM segment in EDIFACT
version D 99B for examples of segments that contain Repeating Elements.
Need to Know Terms
Repeating Data Element
Either a simple data element or a composite data structure that repeats a specified number
of times within a segment specification.
Repeat Value
The number of times a repeating data element can repeat.
Repetition Separator
The delimiter that separates each simple data element or composite data structure found
within a repeating data element.
Examples
A segment with a repeating simple data element could be represented as follows:
TAG*DE-1*DE-2*RDE-1|RDE-2|RDE-3|RDE-4*DE-4?
Where '*" is the element separator, '|' is the repetition separator, '?' is the segment terminator and
the repeat value is 4.
The standards allow for positioning of a repeat to be meaningful (i.e. certain occurrences of a
repeat may be optional causing a null repeat):
TAG*DE-1*DE-2*RDE-1||RDE-3|RDE-4*DE-4?
Where ' || ' indicates a null repeat (RDE-2).
The standards allow for trailing repeats to be dropped if they are not meaningful:
TAG*DE-1*DE-2*RDE-1|RDE-2*DE-4?
Where RDE-3 and RDE-4 are dropped but the repeat value is still 4.
A segment with a repeating composite data structure could be represented as follows:
TAG*DE-1*DE-2*CE1:CE2:CE3|CE1:CE2:CE3|CE1:CE2:CE3|CE1:CE2:CE3*DE-4?
Where '*" is the element separator, '|' is the repetition separator, ':' is the sub-element or component
separator, '?' is the segment terminator, the repeat value is 4 and CE1: CE2:CE3 is the composite
repeating data element.

How to Use Repeating Data Elements in Sterling Gentran
How do you know if a transaction uses repeating data elements?
When viewing the online Standards subsystem, the Transaction and the Segment Element screens
will indicate if a transaction has any segments with repeating data elements.
If the Repeat Ind. field contains the Y value on the Transaction (EDIM120) screen, the transaction
set specified contains a segment that has a repeating data element.

How do the Inbound and Outbound Editors Process Repeating Data Elements?
ASC X12
Before version 004020, the ISA11 was defined as the Interchange Control Standards Identifier
(element type = ID, minimum length = 1, maximum length = 1). Beginning with version 004020,
the definition of the ISA11 was changed to the Repetition Separator (element type = AN,
minimum length = 1, maximum length = 1). The Editors will look at how the ISA11 is defined in
the standards (element type = AN or ID) when validating the ISA11. If the ISA11 is defined as an
Element Type ID, the editor will continue to validate the value in the ISA11 against the standards
code list. If the ISA11 is defined as an element type AN, the editors will validate to ensure that the
ISA11 does not equal the element separator, sub-element separator or segment terminator. An error
message will be generated if the ISA11 contains a value equal to one of the other delimiters.
EDIFACT
As of UN/EDIFACT version D 99A, the UNA05 will contain the repetition separator. If the UNA
segment is not used, the asterisk (*) will be used as the repetition separator for the UNOA and
UNOB characters sets. When the UNA segment is used, the editors will validate to ensure that the
UNA05 does not equal the element separator, sub-element separator, segment terminator, or
release character. An error message will be generated if the UNA05 contains a value equal to one
of the other delimiters.
IBM Sterling Gentran:Basic for z/OS Release 6.6 User Guide
7 - 109
System Features: Tips and Techniques
Repeating Data Elements
The Inbound and Outbound Editors will validate the repetition separator to ensure it contains a
valid value if the Repeating Indicator field on the Transaction (EDIM120) screen is set to Y for the
transaction being processed. If the transaction being processed has a segment that has repeating
data elements defined and a valid repetition separator is not found, an error will be generated and
the transaction will suspend.
How Do You Set up a Partner Profile to Use Repeating Data Elements?
ASC X12
When using the ISA segment as the interchange header option, the ISA11 (Repeat Sep/Stds ID)
must be populated with a valid repetition separator on the Control Information (EDIM016) screen.
When an ISA segment is generated, the repetition separator will be pulled from the partner profile.

How Do You Map Repeating Data Elements?
After you have copied the desired segments into a map, use the Element Mapping Inbound
(EDIM514) or Element Mapping Outbound (EDIM511) screens to map the data. A plus sign (+)
will be displayed to the right of the Repeat Number field for an element if that element is a
repeating data element. Before mapping to a repeating data element, only the first repeat of the
repeating simple data element or composite data structure will appear on the Element Mapping
screens. If the repeating data element is a composite data structure, the plus sign will only appear
on the first sub-element of the composite group.

Entering specific repeat occurrences in the Repeat Numbers field and pressing PF9 will copy the
specified occurrences into the map. The repeat occurrences selected do not have to be in sequential
order. Repeat occurrences may be skipped. It is valid to select repeat numbers 2, 5, and 9. You can
only copy in 20 occurrences of a repeating data element at one time. If a repeating data element
has a repeat value of 50 and you want to copy in occurrences, 1 through 30, you will need to enter
repeat numbers 2 through 20 on the Build Repeating Data Element screen. Press PF9 to add these
occurrences, and the enter repeat numbers 21 through 30. Press PF9 again to add the final
occurrences.
If desired, you can delete all occurrences (other than the first occurrence) of a repeating data
element from your map by entering the ALL value in the first Repeat Numbers field and pressing
PF11. Or, you can delete specific occurrences of a repeating data element by entering the desired
values in the Repeat Numbers fields and pressing PF11.
After you have pulled into the map the occurrences of a repeating data element, you can map each
Element / Sub-element the same as any non-repeating data element using the Element Mapping
Inbound (EDIM514), Extended Element Mapping Inbound (EDIM513), Element Mapping
Outbound (EDIM511), and Extended Element Mapping Outbound (EDIM508) screens.

Standards Updates
Overview
Periodically, IBM makes new standards releases and updates available to you. The Standards
subsystem of Sterling Gentran:Basic consists of 13 online VSAM standards files and one
Optimized Table file. The online VSAM standards files contain the standards structures and
information needed for mapping. The online VSAM standards files are also used to create the
Optimized Table file that is used in the Inbound and Outbound Compliance Editors to validate the
data against the standards rules.
See Chapter 3, “The Standards Subsystem” and Chapter 6 “The Mapping Subsystem” for more
information about these functions.
Sterling Gentran:Basic Standards CD
Periodically, IBM releases a Sterling Gentran:Basic Standards CD. Using the CD, you can:
•
Add new versions to your online standards files from the Standards CD
•
Replace existing versions on your online Standards file from the Standards CD
•
Delete versions from your online standards files that are no longer needed
Once these new and/or updated versions are available on the online standards files, you can make
them available to inbound/outbound Sterling Gentran by creating a new Optimized Table file.
Requesting the Standards CD
You can request shipment of the Standards CD in the following ways:
•
By calling the IBM Customer Support Center
•
By opening a support case via IBM Customer Center Web site at: http://
customer.sterlingcommerce.com.
When you receive the Standards CD, complete the steps in the Standards Update Worksheet topic
within this section of the chapter to selectively introduce new standards to the existing VSAM
standards files.
Obtaining Newer Standards
You can obtain newer standards through the IBM Customer Center Web site (http://
customer.sterlingcommerce.com) by downloading standards data from our Web page. You can
locate a list of available downloads for Sterling Gentran:Basic using the left pane navigation after
you have logged in to Customer Center. Download packets include the instructions and JCL to
merge these new standards into the existing VSAM standards files.
Note: You can not download the standards in their entirety from
the Web. The downloads contain smaller standards
packages available online for your convenience. To
obtain the entire Standards CD, request shipment.

File
Description
STD1
The standards file part 1
STD2
The standards file part 2
At the completion of the uploads, verify the integrity of the files on the mainframe
by looking for the following:
•
Column 2 of the first record in the file should begin with the value
\INMR01.
•
The number of bytes transferred should match the size of the source file.
Note: If neither of these values are true or an entire file is
unreadable, verify that your FTP session was configured
in BINARY data transfer mode. Using an incorrect
transfer configuration is the most common cause of a
problem with an upload.
If a file is not acceptable, perform the upload process again and verify the
integrity of the uploaded file again until it is acceptable.

Underscore Substitution Characters
System Features: Tips and Techniques
Underscore Substitution Characters
Overview
The Sterling Gentran online system uses the underscore ( _ ) as a fill character to show the location
and length of fields on the screens. The system changes underscores in online fields to spaces
when writing to the files, and displays them as underscores on the screens. In some cases, such as
an e-mail address, the underscore is a valid character in a text string.
Sterling Gentran:Basic now allows the use of an underscore substitution character (USC) in
selected fields in five areas of the system (Partner, Mapping, Application, Code Table, and Data
Translation by Partner). When a USC has been defined and the Sterling Gentran online system
encounters a field containing an underscore, Sterling Gentran replaces the underscore with the
USC that has been defined for that partner, map, application, or code table when displaying the
information on the online screen. The files that store the information will contain the actual
underscore character.
Before you enter a field value containing the USC, you must assign an underscore substitution
character to allow the Sterling Gentran online system to recognize the position where the
underscore belongs.
The USC can be uniquely assigned for each partner, translation ID, application ID, and Code Table
ID, however, we recommend that the same underscore substitution character be used for all
partner, maps, applications, and code table data as much as possible. A consistent USC value
makes viewing the information on the Sterling Gentran screens easier.
You can assign unique USCs as needed. When selecting a USC, choose a special character that
does not normally occur in your system.
Valid Values for USC
The valid values that you can use for underscore substitution characters are the following:
~
¬
=
<
!
&
+
>
@
*
{
/
#
(
}
?
$
)
:
|
%
;
\ and space
Note: Space is the default value. Using it means that
underscores cannot be specified; if they are, they will be
converted to spaces.

Example Partner Procedure: Sender ID with Underscore
This example shows how to set up an outbound partner that will have an ISA sender ID (ISA06)
containing an underscore.
Step 1
Assign the Underscore Substitution Character for the Partner subsystem.
Typically performed by: EDI Coordinator
Check the box next to each task as you complete it.
Choose a USC that does not usually occur in your data, specifically sender/
receiver IDs.
Note: In our example we will use # for our USC.
On the Partner Header Information screen (EDIM026) type the # special character
in the Underscore Character field. Press PF10 to update the partner.

Example Partner Procedure: Cross Reference Underscore Setup
This example shows how to set up a cross reference for a Sender and/or Receiver ID that contains
underscores.
Note: The Sterling Gentran Cross Reference feature is available
for processing in Partner/Qualifier and Mixed modes
only.
See the IBM® Sterling Gentran:Basic® for z/OS®
Release 6.6 Technical Reference Guide for more
information about the Cross Reference feature.
Step 1
Determine the USC that has been assigned for an existing Partner ID on your Partner
file.
Typically performed by: EDI Coordinator
Check the box next to the task as you complete it.
Review the Partner Header Information screen (EDIM026) for the Partner ID that
exists on your Partner file. The USC character on this screen is the special
character that you must use when adding your Cross Reference records.
In this example we will use the # character in place of the underscore when we
create Cross Reference records.
Note: If there is no USC character assigned to your partner,
then the system will not add the XREF-ID to the Cross
Reference file correctly. The Cross Reference will not
work. The Cross Reference value stored on the Cross
Reference file must match the incoming EDI IDs exactly.

For AN data types, the length of the field is the number of characters to be written in the field.
AS

Application Data Types
Glossary
Numeric Data Types:
The numeric data types are designed to describe application fields that contain numeric data.
Unlike the alphanumeric data types, which are interchangeable, the numeric types have very
specific formats that must be adhered to. The numeric application data can be mapped to and from
an alphanumeric EDI element.
B
(Binary)
This data type supports full word, positive, binary numbers for outbound applications only. The
field lengths specified must be in full-word increments (e.g., 2 bytes, 4 bytes, 6 bytes, and 8 bytes).
These data types are represented in COBOL as PIC 9(#) COMP, where # is a multiple of 4.
N#
(Signed Numeric; # = number of implied decimal positions. Valid values are N0
through N9)
This data type is similar to the EDI N data type except that the entire length of the field must be
filled with numeric values. Its length is defined as the number of digits in the number. Negative
numbers have an explicit minus sign (-) in the first byte. It is recommended that this data type be
used for only data values that is always positive. For example, a 6-position number with two
implied decimal positions is defined to the application as data type N2 with a length of 6. It is
represented in a COBOL program as PIC 9(4)V9(2).
ND
(Numeric Display – Outbound Applications Only)
This data type is similar to the R data type except that any special characters encountered when
translating from this field are ignored. This data type was developed to allow limited numeric
processing capabilities when the application file is in report format. These fields are converted as
shown in the following example. (Assume moving to R type EDI element.)
(1)
$
120.00=====>120
(2)
$*****1.00=====>1
(3)
- 1.2=====>-1.2
(4)
1.2 CR=====>-1.2
Remember, this data type can be used only in outbound application definitions.
P#
(Signed Packed; # = number of implied decimal positions. Valid values are P0
through P9)
This data type is commonly called packed decimal. Its length is defined as the number of digits in
the number divided by 2, plus 1. The sign is represented in the last half-byte of the number (Dnegative; C or F-positive). A 6-position number with two implied decimal positions would be
defined to the application as data type P2 with a length of 4. It is represented in a COBOL program
as PIC S9(4)V9(2) COMP-3.
G - 18
IBM Sterling Gentran:Basic for z/OS Release 6.6 User Guide
Glossary
R
Application Data Types
Real
This data type is similar to the EDI R data type except that the entire length of the field must be
filled with numeric values. Its length is defined as the number of digits in the number. Negative
numbers have an explicit minus sign (-) in the first byte. Decimal positions are indicated with a
real decimal point. It is recommended that this data type be used only when absolutely necessary
because there is a considerable amount of programming required to generate or interpret this data
type compared to the other types. A 6-position number with two positions after the decimal is
displayed as 1234.56. For inbound, the field is padded on the right with trailing zeros. As a result,
the number one (1) is displayed in a 6-position application field as 1.0000.
S#
(Signed Numeric; # = number of implied decimal positions. Valid values are S0
through S9)
This data type is commonly called zoned decimal. Its length is defined as the number of digits in
the number. The sign is represented by an overpunch in the last byte of the number. A six-position
number with two implied decimal positions is defined to the application as data type S2, with a
length of 6. It is represented in a COBOL program as PIC S9(4)V9(2).
U#
(Unsigned Packed; # = number of implied decimal positions. Valid values are U0
through U9)
This data type is the same as the packed data type (P#) above except that the last half-byte of the
number that contains the sign is always an F. A 6-position number with two implied decimal
positions is defined to the application as data type U2 with a length of 4. It is represented in a
COBOL program as PIC 9(4)V9(2) COMP-3.

EDI Data Types
Glossary
EDI Data Types
The following data types are used to describe all of the elements in an EDI document.
Alphanumeric Data Types:
AN
Alphanumeric
The Alphanumeric data type is used to describe most of the alphanumeric elements in EDI
documents. The data in AN field types is free-form text.
ID
Identification
The Identification data type describes a data field that is alphanumeric, but may contain only
specified code values. If the number of these code values has a realistic, finite limit (e.g., unit of
measure), then the values in the fields are validated during compliance checking. If the number of
valid values has no real defined limit (e.g., DUNS number), then the value is not validated.
Numeric Data Types:
N#
Signed Numeric(# = number of implied decimal positions. Valid values are N0
through N9)
The Numeric data type is defined as having an implied decimal point and an explicit minus (-)
sign, if the value is negative. The value of 1.23 in an N3 element, with a minimum length of one, is
1230.
R
Real
R# (Real; # = number of decimal positions. Valid values are R0 through R9)
This data type is defined as having a real decimal point and an explicit minus sign, if the value is
negative. The value of 1.23 in an “R” element, with a minimum length of one, is 1.23.
Date Data Types
D8
Date
Date is in YYYYMMDD format. Field is not packed. The length is eight bytes.
DT
Date
Date is in YYYYMMDD or YYMMDD depending on standard definition.
T6
Time
Time is in HHMMSS format. Field is not packed. The length is six bytes.
T8
Time
Time is in HHMMSSHH format. Field is not packed. The length is eight bytes.
TM
