Section 11
TRANCODES-QUAD TO HOST Conversion Table
This table is used when exporting transaction data to external
systems.
In many cases the
tran_code used by RASWIN does not match
the
tran_code
required by the host system.
For example, RASWIN may use
1000 as the
tran_code,
but
the corresponding
tran_code needed by the host system
UTIL.
During the export process, RASWIN will convert the
QUAD_CODE value to the
HOST_CODE value
using this table.
-
QUAD_CODE
This is the
tran_code used in RASWIN database.
-
HOST_CODE
This is the
tran_code that is to be sent in the
export file or online
interface..
In the example below there are several codes setup for conversion
from the
QUAD_CODE to the
HOST_CODE. For
example, during the
interface process the
RASWIN
will look up the
QUAD_CODE
1000 and use the
corresponding
HOST_CODE
UTIL in the output record.
Note that two
QUAD_CODE values in this example (
1000,
and
1001)
both point to the single
HOST_CODE
UTIL.
If the host interface uses the same value as the RASWIN you
should still set up entries in the table with the same values in
both columns, as
shown for the
2000 example above. In the
event that no
QUAD_CODE
is found in the table the program will just send the value found
on the transaction record, however having a value defined ensures
that you will send the value you
intended to send.
The
QUAD_CODE
column values must be UNIQUE, but the
HOST_CODE column can contain
duplicate entries, as shown in the example above.
