Validating the CONTAINS Attribute

Data in the CONTAINS attribute is validated as follows:

Procedure

  1. If ID and EXT combination of the child record does not identify as a valid record, the relationship entry will not be processed. This condition does not apply when COMMAND = DELETEALL.
  2. When COMMAND = DELETEALL, the ID, EXT, and QTY of the child record are ignored.
  3. Every relationship type entered must be a valid relationship entry defined in the relationship definition table; otherwise the processing of the records in the CONTAINS field will be ignored.
  4. COMMAND can only take values: DELETE, DELETEALL, or NULL; otherwise the relationship will be ignored.
