The FDMSLevel2 class is a tool used to create Level2 Corporate Purchasing Card addendum aggregates, which can then be passed to the FDMSSETTLE class and settled.

Syntax

dpaymentssdk.Fdmslevel2

Remarks

The properties required to build a Level 2 addendum depends upon the value of the CardType property. The following tables indicate which properties are valid for what card type:

American Express

Visa

MasterCard

The following example illustrates how to add Level 2 data to a transaction to be settled:

FDMSECommerce.Authorize() FDMSLevel2.CardType = fctVisa FDMSLevel2.CommercialCardType = FDMSECommerce.ResponseCommercialCard FDMSLevel2.OrderDate = "060828" 'September 28th, 2006 FDMSLevel2.FreightTaxAmount = "0" FDMSLevel2.FreightAmount = "600" FDMSLevel2.PurchaseIdentifier = "123456PURCHID" FDMSLevel2.InvoiceNumber = "CUSTCODE" FDMSLevel2.ShippedToZip = "90210" FDMSLevel2.ShippedFromZip = "90210" FDMSLevel2.TaxAmount = "120" FDMSSettle.DetailRecords.Add(New FDMSRecordType(FDMSECommerce.GetDetailAggregate(), FDMSLevel2.GetAddendum()))

Note that while Level 2 addendum data is only applicable to corporate purchasing cards, you may send Level 2 data for all Visa, Master Card, and American Express cards if you wish.

To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY, you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE"), where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).

To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.

The ErrorCode parameter contains an error code, and the Description parameter contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the Error Codes section.

Config Settings (Fdmslevel2 Class)

The class accepts one or more of the following configuration settings. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

Base Config Settings

BuildInfo:   Information about the product's build.

When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the product's build.

GUIAvailable:   Whether or not a message loop is available for processing events.

In a GUI-based application, long-running blocking operations may cause the application to stop responding to input until the operation returns. The class will attempt to discover whether or not the application has a message loop and, if one is discovered, it will process events in that message loop during any such blocking operation.

In some non-GUI applications, an invalid message loop may be discovered that will result in errant behavior. In these cases, setting GUIAvailable to false will ensure that the class does not attempt to process external events.

LicenseInfo:   Information about the current license.

When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the license this instance of a class is using. It will return the following information:

  • Product: The product the license is for.
  • Product Key: The key the license was generated from.
  • License Source: Where the license was found (e.g., RuntimeLicense, License File).
  • License Type: The type of license installed (e.g., Royalty Free, Single Server).
  • Last Valid Build: The last valid build number for which the license will work.
MaskSensitive:   Whether sensitive data is masked in log messages.

In certain circumstances it may be beneficial to mask sensitive data, like passwords, in log messages. Set this to true to mask sensitive data. The default is true.

This setting only works on these classes: AS3Receiver, AS3Sender, Atom, Client(3DS), FTP, FTPServer, IMAP, OFTPClient, SSHClient, SCP, Server(3DS), Sexec, SFTP, SFTPServer, SSHServer, TCPClient, TCPServer.

UseDaemonThreads:   Whether threads created by the class are daemon threads.

If set to True (default), when the class creates a thread, the thread's Daemon property will be explicitly set to True. When set to False, the class will not set the Daemon property on the created thread. The default value is True.

UseInternalSecurityAPI:   Whether or not to use the system security libraries or an internal implementation.

When set to false, the class will use the system security libraries by default to perform cryptographic functions where applicable.

Setting this configuration setting to true tells the class to use the internal implementation instead of using the system security libraries.

This setting is set to false by default on all platforms.

Trappable Errors (Fdmslevel2 Class)
