BASIC CONCEPT
The X12 Inline Parser allows a user to convert
X12 files into a CSV or XML files.
The X12 Inline Parser can be run from a command prompt
using parameters to specify format,input file,
output file, and options.
The X12 Inline Parser can parse all the x12 files in a
specified folder with a single execution.
The view function allows you to display and print
the contents of standard ANSI X12 837,277,276,835,864,
and 997 files in a user friendly format.
837 Health Care Claims
276 Claim Status Inquiry
277 Claim Status
835 Remittance Advice
997 Functional Acknowledgement
864 Informational Report
Data is displayed in context sensitive screens relative
to their transaction set.
FEATURES
- Ability to call and run the Parser from another
application without user intervention.
- Create CSV or XML
- Designed for parsing large files.
- View or Print Listings of Claims
- View or Print Data Sheet of Individual Claims
- View or Print Listings of Remittance
- View or Print Data Sheet of Remittance
- View or Print Functional Acknowledgements
- View or Print X12 Data in segmented lines
SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS
Requires a Microsoft Windows 32 bit Operating System.
Section 3
Default mapping for the Inline Parser can be stored stored in a file
called c1map.cfg.
Maps for the Inline Parser can be generated using the Mapping Tool.
The mapping tool lets you generate a map based on the type of
X12 transaction that you wish to parse. Map file names are based
on the version and transaction spefication and example of this
is the file 004010X098A1.cfg that is used when a file is detected
to be a 837 Professional Claims version 4010A1. X12 File determination
is done using the GS segment Element 8. If a map is not found for
that version the c1map.cfg will be used.
- - -
KEYFIELD
Syntax : KEYFIELD=segmet,element1,element2,element3,ect...
The KEYFIELD is mapped to a segment that is used to determine
the seperation for each transaction within the file.
- - -
KEYLINEFIELD
Syntax : KEYLINEFIELD=segmet,element1,element2,element3,ect...
The KEYLINEFIELD is mapped to a segment that is used to determine
the seperation for each service line with a transaction.
- - -
FIELD
Syntax FIELD=a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o
A =Field Name
Any Alpha/Numeric value. No duplicates.
B =Field Width
1 - 999
C = Segment Type
Based on the 1st Segment
D = Segment Qualifier
E = Qualifier Position
Position includes all segments.
F = Element Position
Position does not include 1st segment.
G = Sub Element Position
H = Conditional Field
The name of another field within the map
that must be populated for this field to
work.
I = Occurrence
The identified record in a repeating segment.
J = Level
Blank = Default
1 = Header
K = Service Line Number
L = Field Description
M = Data Starting Position within theField
N = Length of data
O = Function
Name of file that contains functional script
The FIELD is used to map all data that is to be parsed.
Section 4
The Inline Parser can be run in two ways, either in the screen interface
mode or using a command line call.
Before you can parse a file you will need to generate a mapping file
using the Inline Parser Mapping Tool.
USER INTERFACE SCREEN
To Parse a file using the Inline Parser screens click on the Parse X12
ile Button.
In the Inline Parser interface screen select your IO type,
source file options are X12, CSV, or XML.
If you select X12 as your source type you will have the option of
selecting a destination file type of CSV or XML.
If you select CSV or XML as your source type, X12 will be set as your
destination type.
Select your Source File, set your destination folder and select or set a
options that you would like.
Click Begin and you file will begin parsing.
A destination file with the same name as the source should be created in
the destination folder.
The PARSE.LOG can be viewed to verify and troubleshot the results of the
process.
COMMAND LINE INTERFACE
To parse a file using the command line interface use the following
syntax:
C1D0M484 stype,dtype source destination options
C1D0P484 stype,dtype source destination options
Four parameters seperated by a space are passed to the Inline Parser.
The first parameter is the IO Type.
Valid options are:
X12,CSV for X12 to CSV
X12,XML for X12 to XML
CSV,X12 for CSV to X12
XML,X12 for XML to X12
The second parameter is the source file or source directory.
If a directory is specified, all valid files in that directory will be
arsed.
The third paramter is the destination file or destination folder.
If a file is not specified or if a source is a folder the parser will
name the destination file based on the source file name.
The fourth parameter is the options. Options are seperated commas.
TROUBLESHOOTING
The options of ML,DEBUG=ON can be used to create a MAP.LOG and add
debug information to the PARSE.LOG.
The Inline Parser first loads its map into memory based on the
version of X12 it sees in segment GS08.
Valid detected versions and transactions:
Version 4010
837I 004010X096A1.cfg
835 004010X091A1.cfg
276 004010X093A1A.cfg
277 004010X093A1B.cfg
270 004010X092A1A.cfg
271 004010X092A1B.cfg
278 Request 004010X094A1A.cfg
278 Response 004010X094A1B.cfg
834 004010X095A1.cfg
837p 004010X098A1.cfg
837d 004010X097A1.cfg
version 5010
837i 005010X223A2.cfg
835 005010X221.cfg
276 005010X212A.cfg
277 005010X212B.cfg
270 005010X279A.cfg
271 005010X279B.cfg
278 Request 005010X217A.cfg
278 Response 005010X217B.cfg
834 005010X220.cfg
837p 005010X222A2.cfg
837d 005010X224A2.cfg
If you encouter a file that did not parse, verify
the the version of X12 in the GS08 using the X12 Viewer
in the View Data screen.
An example of an issue would be an 837I file that contains
005010X223 in the GS08. Since the there has been a
second addendum added to the 5010 X12 specification
we use 005010X223A2 as the valid name
for a 837i version 5010 mapping configuration.
To get around this problem simply save the 005010X223A2.cfg
file as 005010X223.cfg
Section 5
