Field Description

The following table lists the fields in the Define Message Fields to Conversion Rule panel:

Field Description
Conversion Id The name of the conversion rule that the nested message field is defined to.
Using Message The name of the message definition containing the nested message field.
Sel You can select a conversion rule that the nested message field can be defined to.

Valid selection: S(elect).

Trunc Not applicable for nested messages. You can ignore it.
Reqd Required. You can specify whether the field is required for a conversion.

Valid selections: Y(es) and N(o). Default selection: Y.

For an inbound process, if you set this field to Y, the transaction is not completed successfully unless a field with this name is encountered in the inbound Rendezvous message. If you set this field to N, no specific check is made as to the availability of that message field in the Rendezvous message.

For an outbound process, if you set this field to N, and the data type is numeric and the contents of the field is not initialized by the host-side application, the field is initialized by the Transformer and no editing errors occur.

CvRul The sequence number of the conversion rule that the nested message field is defined to.
Msg Field The name of the nested message field.
Num The sequence number of the conversion rule.
Conversion Rule The name of the conversion rule.
