Description

The execution of an edit check can cause no changes to occur, or changes to one or more data values, messages, queries, missing page queries, or deletions of missing page queries, to occur. This element identifies the edit check by name and when it was executed, and is the parent element for the changes, if any. The parent of this element is the variable that was current when the edit check was executed.

Processing Expectations

If the detail level (identified by the when attribute of the LOG or APPLY element in the input batch file) has a value of changes, then this element will never appear in the output as an empty element. It may only appear as an empty element when the attribute value is all in which the element identifies that the edit check was executed but no changes occurred.
