Library Directories with Validations

An Edifact library provides schemas and Parsers that validates input against the EDIFACT standard.

A validating Parser does not fail if it encounters non-conforming input. Instead, the Parser labels its XML output with an error-code attribute that has a value specified in the EDIFACT standard. For example, if a mandatory field is missing, both the field and the segment containing it are labeled with error codes. The error output has the following appearance:

<BGM segErrorCd="18">
  <R01 compErrorCd="18">
    <R01 errorCd="12">352</R01>
  </R01>
  ...
</BGM>

The Parsers validate the following features of the input:

Input type

Enumerations

Mandatory fields

Minimum and maximum length

The following table describes the EDIFACT error codes:

Code	Description
12	Invalid value
13	Missing
18	Unspecified error
35	Too many data element or segment repetitions
36	Too many segment group repetitions
37	Invalid type of character(s)
39	Data element too long
40	Data element too short
