Appendix E: Content-Based Splitting

Content-Based Splitting Demo

To see a demonstration of content-based splitting, go to the Scripts directory of Instream and:

Run V_DS_837I_4010_ContentSplit1 to see an example of content-based splitting that uses a split map (see Creating a Splitting Map). Output will appear in the Output directory of Instream.

• Run V_DS_837I_4010_ContentSplit for a demo of automatic content-based splitting (see Automatic Content-Based Splitting).

• Run V_DS_837I_4010_NoContentSplit to see how the same data splits without content-based splitting.

These examples split 837I_4010_H_5provider.txt in the DemoData directory of Instream. It contains five providers. Each provider has one subscriber with no dependent and one subscriber with a dependent. PROVIDER TWO has an error. Names are in alphabetic order and IDs are in numeric order so that you can easily check output.

The guideline used in the demos, PCBS, generates ZCBS records in the validation detail file. These records contain the first 9 characters of the provider IDs, and that value is used for the content-based splitting demo.
