Message formats

The SMAT utility provides maintenance utilities to process all saved inbound and outbound messages.

On the Inbound pane of the Network Configurator’s Properties tab, there are two options: Save inbound messages and Save outbound messages.

When one of these is selected, messages can be viewed, modified, deleted, and resent using the SMAT utility.

You can view these messages in SMAT using encoded formats such as CR>NL and FRL. You can also use other formats such as EDIFACT, VRL, HRL, HL7, LDL, HPRIM, NCPDP F&B, NCPDP SCRIPT, NCPDP Telecom, VRL, X12, and XML. The default value is None.

The SMAT pane changes according to the selected format.

  • CR>NL

    When CR>NL or None is selected, the Format Options pane is hidden. The other formats have other options, according to the selected format.

  • Detail Level

    This is the detail level of the message formatting. Detail levels go from 0 (raw, unparsed data) to 4 (most detail). This option is not available when CR>NL or None is selected.
