Notes:
  1. Determines folder.
  2. Standard Internal and External X12 Folders are used (no custom folders). These custom folders are: -2 = Internal FolderNo; and -21 = External FolderNo.
  3. Do not use the name "UNKNOWN, or "ALL", or any variation of the case of these two words. For example, do not use "Unknown", or "All". Unique across all X12 Trading Partners.
  4. Cannot contain single or double quotation marks. Combination of IchgQual + IchgID must be unique across all X12 Trading Partners.
  5. Default: 00
  6. The field IchgCtrlStdsID takes on two meanings, depending on the value of the next field, IchgCtrlVerNo. If the IchgCtrlVerNo is greater than, or equal to, 00402, this field is the Repetition Character, otherwise it is the Interchange Standards ID. Both field types are optional: the default value is "^" (caret, Hex 5E) if the field denotes the Repetition Character; the default value is "U" for the Interchange Standards ID. When specifying the Repetition Character, use the hexadecimal values as stored in the table HexValues. When specifying an Interchange Standards ID, the value must be in the table IchgStandardsIC. The reason for this dual meaning is that the X12 committee stopped using the Interchange Standards ID and replaced it with the Repetition Character, starting with Interchange Control version 00402.
  7. Default: 00305
  8. Default: 2A
  9. If more than one hex value, separate by a space (for example, 0D 0A). Defaults are: 2A (*); 3A (colon); and 0A: Linefeed.
  10. Default: 3A
  11. Default: 0A
  12. Field can only be set for External Trading Partners that have a Duplicate Control Interchange setting of Y. If set, it must be a positive integer no longer than nine characters.
  13. This field can only be specified for external partners. This is a three character string containing the letters N or Y: set each position to a Y if the Duplicate Control checkbox is checked as follows: position 1=Interchange, position 2=FG within Interchange, position 3=Transaction within FG.
  14. Use for External Trading Partners only.
  15. Use for External Trading Partners only. Default is N.
