Debugging the handoff mapping / formatting

Note: this applies to releases before R6

Mapping

The mapping process is launched in phantom mode using DE.PHANTOM DE.O.MAP.MESSAGES

If you have placed a debug in a Delivery program, just launch DE.O.MAP.MESSAGES on line.

Formatting

The formatting process is launched in phantom mode using DE.PHANTOM DE.O.SELECT.NEXT.MESSAGE

If you have placed a debug in a Delivery program, just launch DE.O.SELECT.NEXT.MESSAGE on line.

Achtung:

a. the call to EB.HANDOFF is only done inside each application program. This means if you alter the Handoff by adding local fields, you’ll need to input a new transaction in the related application to see the effect. In other terms, simply re-starting the DE.MAPPING phantom won’t be enough to see the changes.

b. When needing updating an handoff record, two tables must be updated simultaneously:

F.DE.O.HEADER

F.DE.HANDOFF
