ISErrorRefiner Configuration File
The ISErrorRefiner Configuration File is used to specify the changes that ISErrorRefiner is to make.
For complete information on ISErrorRefiner Configuration files, see the ISErrorRefiner PDF document.
ISErrorRefiner Configuration File Format
The ISErrorRefiner Configuration File is a text file containing two sections, which can occur in any order.
[Settings] Section
The Settings Section starts with the line [Settings], and contains the optional StopErrors entry.
StopErrors is used to identify errors that, when encountered, cause the severity of any and all other errors at the same level (i.e., loop/segment/element) to be set to zero (ignore); in effect, causing just the Stop Error to appear.
This results in fewer extraneous errors such as those generated by unused loops or segments, where the contents of those loops and segments contain additional errors that are unimportant when compared to the main error.
The StopErrors entry is a comma-separated list of one or more five-digit error numbers.
StopErrors=Error#{,Error#,Error#,...}
Example
StopErrors=11003,11302,11323,11324,10808,10811,10812,95171,95111,95236,95237,95238,95120,95121,95239,95240,95241,95242,95235,95211,95233
[Extended Warning Levels] Section
The Extended Warning Levels Section contains instructions about the modifications ISErrorRefiner is to make. Each line in this section corresponds to one Error/Location, and is structured as follows:
Error+Location=New Data
When ISErrorRefiner encounters an error (DTL) line in the input Detail File, it consults the table for an entry that has the same Error Number and Location (Loop, Segment, Element). If it finds a match, it replaces the fields in the DTL line with the data from the New Data portion of the instructions.
- Error+Location
- New Data
New Data is comprised of 12 fields separated by the comma character, and represents the data that is to replace various fields in the Input DTL record. Each field is optional, and should contain data only when that field is to be changed.
