Specifies a schema to import as part of the guideline used by the document.
Syntax:
Set ediSchema = object.ImportSchema(<sSchemaFile>, <SchemaType>)
Parameters:
sSchemaFile
– The full path file name of the schema file to import.
SchemaType
- The type of schema to import.For
the available schema types see Schema
Type ID constants.
Returns:
If successful the object of type FREDI.ediSchema is
returned; otherwise an empty object is returned if the operation fails.
Remarks:
ImportSchema method immediately imports the schema at the
time that it is invoked unlike the LoadSchema
method, which imports the schema at the time when the EDI document is about to
be processed.
To explicitly import a version from the standard reference
library, one has to specify the schema file name using the following format:
<Controlling Agency>|<Standard Major Version><Standard
Minor Version>
Where the Controlling Agency must contain one of the
values:
"X"
– ASC/X12
"UN"
– UN/EDIFACT
Example1. To
import a Standard Exchange Format (SEF) file.
Dim oEdiDoc As Fredi.ediDocument
Set oEdiDoc = New ediDocument
:
oEdiDoc.ImportSchema “C:\FILES\850.SEF”, 0
Example 2.To
import a version from the Standard Reference Library.
In this example, the version to import is: ASC/X12 version 4030.
Dim oEdiDoc As Fredi.ediDocument
Set oEdiDoc = New ediDocument
:
oEdiDoc.ImportSchema “X|004030”, 1
