EDIT ERROR DETAIL REPORT

The Edit Detail Report is a detailed error listing of all rejections and validations with clear error messages. This report should suppress printing of multiple occurrences of the same error but provide a count of the number of transactions affected.

 

The data is displayed in a tabular format and is sorted by parameter code except for VOCs. VOCs may be grouped by monitor.

 

The body of the report has two main parts that identify the transactions and the errors. The leftmost two columns of the report identify which screening records an error applies to. These two identifiers can be used in the CORRECT process to find the transactions that need to be fixed. The "key" is the first 25 characters of the screening record, consisting of codes for state, county, site, parameter, POC, year transaction type, month, day, hour and action code.

 

The other two columns of the report describe the errors EDIT detected. The ERROR LEVEL column at the right side of the page indicates which level of edit checks the transaction failed. The TRANSACTION column displays the error messages and other information to indicate what is wrong with a transaction.

 

Entries in the EDIT error report have one of two basic formats. The first format is used when multiple transactions are involved in an error. (This includes most level-2 errors and many level-3 errors.) In the multiple-transaction format, the record identification columns list the record number and the key of the first and last transaction involved, with the word "THRU" between them. A message in the TRANSACTION column tells what the error is and how many transactions are involved. The transactions are not listed in the error report, however.

 

A second report format is used for errors that involve a single transaction. The record number and key of the transaction are shown in their respective columns, and the transaction in question is listed in the TRANSACTION column in AIRS input transaction format. The second line of the report entry flags the invalid fields and identifies each problem as an error or a warning. (For Level-3 "Data Exist" errors, except for transactions types Z and 4, the third line will display the data values on the database. These values will be identified with a 'DB*' notation preceding the value.) Subsequent lines list the pertinent error messages, one for each error or warning flag. The flags for erroneous fields are the characters "E" (error) or "W" (warning), which are printed under the first position of each erroneous field. If the field is longer than one character, the remaining positions are flagged with asterisks.

 

The order of the error messages printed in subsequent lines of the report entry corresponds to the left-to-right order of the error flags.
