Taking Care When Changing “Data Scope” in Outbound Map Loops Building outbound maps takes some know-how. You need to know your data. You usually need to follow an implementation guide to your partner’s specifications. You need to be familiar with your map designer. In the loops of outbound maps elements using either Delimited Field or Fixed-Length types have the option of selecting the data from the loop iteration – with offsets available – or from the entire document. In illustration purposes, we’re using the following set of application data: H|810|ZZ|0123456789|ZZ|ABCD|AB123||SA|232324||20190610|20190519||00112234| D|810|1|12|1.11|13.32|IN|11111111|SK|1234|VN|87981|EA|3|1| D|810|2|9|2.22|119.98|IN|12121212|SK|2346|VN|87982|EA|3|1| D|810|3|24|3.33|79.92|IN|13131313|SK|3456|VN|87983|EA|3|1| D|810|4|18|1.21|21.78|IN|14141414|SK|4567|VN|87984|EA|3|1| D|810|5|15|2.32|34.80|IN|15151515|SK|5678|VN|87985|EA|3|1| D|810|6|21|3.43|72.03|IN|16161616|SK|6789VN|87986|EA|3|1| S|X|810|241.11|99| The usual and default setting is “Data selection is based on loop iteration” with Loop Iteration Offset = 0. This places the data hunt in the “current” application data looping for each pass through the data. When all the mapped loop elements use this default, our output is as so: BIG|20190607|14140|20190305|2074997 IT1|1|12|EA|1.11||IN|11111111|SK|1234 IT1|2|9|EA|2.22||IN|12121212|SK|2346 IT1|3|24|EA|3.33||IN|13131313|SK|3456 IT1|4|18|EA|1.21||IN|14141414|SK|4567 IT1|5|15|EA|2.32||IN|15151515|SK|5678 IT1|6|21|EA|3.43||IN|16161616|SK|6789VN TDS|241.11 Now, if we change the IT101 to use “Data selection is based on the entire document”, the IT101 is changed to be an incorrect value for ALL passes through the data – “ZZ”. BIG|20190607|75797|20190305|6183396 IT1|ZZ|12|EA|1.11||IN|11111111|SK|1234 IT1|ZZ|9|EA|2.22||IN|12121212|SK|2346 IT1|ZZ|24|EA|3.33||IN|13131313|SK|3456 IT1|ZZ|18|EA|1.21||IN|14141414|SK|4567 IT1|ZZ|15|EA|2.32||IN|15151515|SK|5678 IT1|ZZ|21|EA|3.43||IN|16161616|SK|6789VN TDS|241.11 There are valid reasons to change these settings. However, care needs to be taken when changing this option, as incorrect data can result.
