2.5.4 Transformation Map Data Interchange Attributes

LANSA Composer defines and stores a set of  data interchange attributes for each Transformation Map.  These are defined to accommodate some of the attributes commonly used in EDI and other forms of data interchange.

While LANSA Composer pre-defines fields to hold these attributes, the program does not enforce the entry of the fields, nor does it validate values entered.  To permit maximum implementation flexibility, LANSA Composer leaves the use and values of these attributes to you according to your own circumstances and conventions.

Some of these values are, however, important for the operation of the transaction document framework as supplied.  Refer to Transformation Map Data Interchange Attributes for more information.

To review or change the data interchange attributes for a Transfomation Map, select the required Transfomation Map in the Transfomation Maps list and then click the Data interchange tab in the command handler area.

To modify a value, type the new value.  Remember to click Save when complete to save your changes.

For information about accessing data interchange attribute values for a Transformation Map in a processing sequence, refer to Transformation Map (*TRANSFORM) Built-in Variable Qualifiers.
