Card 1: EDI data

This is the input X12, RAIL, or EDIFACT interchange that is to be validated. It must be a single X12, RAIL, or EDIFACT interchange. Multiple interchanges in a single input card are not permitted. If the input contains multiple interchanges, you get the message “Input valid but unknown data found”, and only the first interchange is processed.

The default for this is just a sample X12, RAIL, or EDIFACT file in the data directory, so this card is almost always overridden. To specify an input file, you might use the -IF1 option with Command Server, for example:

-IF1 \DataDir\MyEDIData.txt
