Issue/Symptom/Question

How do I enter the additional/optional detail record fields in a pipe delimited interface file - fields entered after the final detail record requirements.

Applies to:

Pipe-delimited interface files

Resolution/Fix/Answer

These additional fields are entered in the following format:  

• | field name = value |

Example: (final required detail field entry)|wc_st_cd = OH|cert_cd = Y|tranx_ref_id = 44253|

Cause

Required header or detail record fields contain only values separated by pipes, since the expected entry is in a specific order.  Optional/additional field entry can be in any order, so will need to be identified by the field name specified in the format of each type of interface file.
