TIBCO BusinessConnect™ Container Edition - EDI Protocol HIPAA Edition powered by Instream® 1.0.0

# User External Code Lists

With BusinessConnect Container Edition - EDI Protocol HIPAA Edition powered by Instream, you can change or add to existing code tables, and add completely new code tables to use for validation. Using this feature, you can:

| • | Temporarily add an invalid code to an existing external code list until your trading partners fix their use of the invalid code.

| • | Augment an external code list and add a custom code that is not normally part of the code list.

| • | Add new codes that have been released but have not yet been incorporated into BusinessConnect Container Edition - EDI Protocol HIPAA Edition powered by Instream.

| • | Override the settings for existing codes.

By default, BusinessConnect Container Edition - EDI Protocol HIPAA Edition powered by Instream searches for user external code lists in the file:

`TIBCO_HOME``/instream/`version_number`/bin/SampleUserTable.txt`

After installation, this file is empty and has a length of zero (0). The following sections explain how to edit this file to customize the use of external codes during validation.

For more information about managing custom external codes and code lists, see the document Changing Desktop and Instream Code Tables in the following file of your TIBCO Foresight® HIPAA Validator® Desktop installation: HIPAA Validator Home`/Doc/ExtendingCodeTables.pdf`

This document also contains the current list of code table names.

## Adding External Codes

To add your own custom codes to be used during validation, edit the file `SampleUserTable.txt` and add your custom codes by adding lines to the file using the following format:

    ^USER<code table name><code>|<start date>|<end date>|<code description>

The start date and end date must be in the format `yyyymmdd`. If left blank, use of the specified code is always allowed.

Example: To add a custom ZIP code that can be used regardless of transaction date, add the following line to the `SampleUserTable.txt` file:

    ^USERZip99999|||Special zip code with no start or end date

## Deleting External Codes

To delete an external code from an existing code table, edit the file `SampleUserTable.txt` and add entries that specify the codes to be deleted using the following format:

    ^USER<code table name><code>|del|<end date>|<code description>

Specifying a code to be deleted uses the same format as is used for specifying a code to be added except that 'del' is specified as the <start date>. When deleting codes, anything entered for the <end date> and <code description> are ignored.

Example: To indicate that the use of zip code 94304 should be invalid, add the following lines to the `ELCTable.txt` file:

    ^USERZip94304|del||

## Disabling an External Code List

With BusinessConnect Container Edition - EDI Protocol HIPAA Edition powered by Instream, you can disable the use of an entire code list during validation.

To disable an entire code list, enter the following in the `SampleUserTable.txt` file:

    ^<code table name> %DISABLE%

Example: To disable the use of Taxonomy Codes, enter the following in the `SampleUserTable.txt` file:

    ^TaxonomyCodes %DISABLE%
