OK--Constants can be used to put specific data into your mapping without coming from a database field. I know you say you have the constants setup correctly in the segment, but let me go through it anyhow.
Here are the steps: Go to your 'Select Message Class Function' panel. Put a 2 in front of 'Constants'--ENTER Working with the 'Edit Message Class Constants' panel, in the OPT column insert an L, in the KEY column put a key name (perhaps AMOUNT), the length will be determined by the translator, then put in your constant--AMT*KC*0 (If this is exactly what you want ??!!)-- ENTER Go back to the 'Select Message Class Function' panel--put a 2 before the 'Segment map;element map'---ENTER Put a 5 before the AMT segment---ENTER Put a 2 before the AMOUNT element or the exact element where you want this constant--ENTER Go to the last field on this panel (Message Class Element Map Details 1) and insert C0--this will pull up all the constants for your message classes (814) that have been created. Select the AMT*KC*0--ENTER This data will be placed into the fields on the panel, then just confirm---ENTER Please try this Christopher--just because. If you still can't populate the AMT segment, then call Extol. Good Luck!!! Rae Ann ----- Original Message ----- From: Christopher A.

I'll try to explain in a little more detail: The original maps are working in production perfectly, and no fields or formats have changed in the development files. I have an 814 which I'm required to add a constant "AMT*KC*0;" and an 867 I need to add a constant "PSA*93*NO ICAP TAG*0;". I have the segments setup correctly in each map, but I can't determine how to force them to appear in the outbound transactions if they aren't mapped to a database field. - Chris -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Rae Ann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, September 10, 2006 2:55 PM To: Christopher A. Libby Subject: Re: [EDI-L] <TECH> Forcing EXTOL to generate a segment Need a little more information Christopher. Were these outbound running fine with fields attached? Were the formats changed? The length of your constants? How did you define the constants? Does code refer to changing data in the map or actual interface coding? If you need a fast answer, please call the Extol help line--these people are great at fixing problems. Plus they also have the capability to get on your system to see what is going on. Otherwise answering these questions along with giving me/us more detailed information will give me/us direction to help you. Thanks, Rae Ann ----- Original Message ----- From: Christopher A.

We are using the v5.5 of the Extol Integrator on the iSeries. I've been able to code the REF segments and have them display, but my AMT and PSA segments refuse to appear in my map. All of these segments contain elements with constants instead of field mappings. Any change someone could explain to me what I'm doing wrong?
