Syntax

Check21

Remarks

An X9.37 file created by this control will contain the following records:

  • File Header Record (1)
  • Cash Letter Header Record (1)
  • Bundle Header Record (1)
  • Check detail record structure (0 to CheckCount), which contains:
    • Check Detail Record (1)
    • Check Detail Addenda A (1)
    • Front Image View Detail Record (0 or 1)
    • Front Image View Data Record (0 or 1)
    • Back Image View Detail Record (0 or 1)
    • Back Image View Data Record (0 or 1)
  • Bundle Control Record (1)
  • Cash Letter Control Record (1)
  • File Control Record (1)

This control makes creating the above file very easy. First set the Origin properties with information about the institution that is originating this file, and the destination it is to be deposited to. Also set the ReturnRoutingNumber. Check21.OriginName = "First Bank of Thor" Check21.OriginRoutingNumber = "111012822" Check21.OriginContactName = "Jake Olsen" Check21.OriginContactPhone = "800-555-5555" Check21.DestinationRoutingNumber = "051000321" Check21.DestinationName = "First Bank of Loki" Check21.ReturnRoutingNumber = "111012822" This file must be differentiated from other files, so now set the CashLetterId and CycleNumber properties, as well as the Filename. (Alternatively Filename may be left empty, and the control will write the file to memory and store it in the FileData property).

Check21.CashLetterId = "123456" Check21.CycleNumber = "01" Check21.Filename = "sample_output.dat" This file is going to contain scanned images of paper checks, so RecordType should be set to rtChecksAndImages and make sure the DocumentationType is set to a compatible value ("G" through "J" are valid when RecordType is rtChecksAndImages). Check21.RecordType = rtChecksAndImages Check21.DocumentationType = "G" This sample file is to contain only one check, but a real file may contain any number of checks. To add a check, set the CheckCount, and then fill the Check array properties with information read off the check's MICR line, as well as the Payee's name and the amount of the check. Check21.CheckCount = 1 Check21.CheckMICROnUs(0) = "1234567890101" ' Account number on the check Check21.CheckMICRRoutingNumber(0) = "902113700" Check21.CheckAmount(0) = "50000" ' $500.00 Check21.CheckSequenceNumber(0) = "407" Check21.CheckPayeeName = "Bruce Banner" Then set information about the Bank of First Deposit. This may be identical to the Origin. The CheckBOFDConversionIndicator should also be set to "2" if this bank converted the original check into the image being included. Check21.CheckBOFDRoutingNumber(0) = "111012822" Check21.CheckBOFDAccountNumber(0) = "181818181818181818" Check21.CheckBOFDBranch(0) = "Asgard" Check21.CheckBOFDConversionIndicator(0) = "2" Finally, you must include images of the front and back of the check, and indicate the format and compression used to create those images. You may use CheckFrontImageFilename and CheckBackImageFilename properties to point to image files on disk, or you may set the binary data directly in CheckFrontImageData and CheckBackImageData. You also need to set a unique identifier that can be used to retrieve the images at a later date. Check21.CheckImageFormat(0) = ifTIFF ' default Check21.CheckImageCompression(0) = icJPEG ' default Check21.CheckCanRecreateImages(0) = True ' default Check21.CheckFrontImageFilename(0) = "front.jpg" Check21.CheckFrontImageReferenceKey(0) = "72234215front" Check21.CheckBackImageFilename(0) = "back.jpg" Check21.CheckBackImageReferenceKey(0) = "72234215back" Now call BuildFile to build the file and save it to the Filename you indicated earlier. If you have an FTPS server (TLS/SSL-secured FTP) to upload the files to, you may set the FTP properties and call BuildAndUploadFile method instead.

This event is where the client can decide whether to continue with the connection process or not. The Accept parameter is a recommendation on whether to continue or close the connection. This is just a suggestion: application software must use its own logic to determine whether to continue or not.

When Accept is False, Status shows why the verification failed (otherwise, Status contains the string "OK"). If it is decided to continue, you can override and accept the certificate by setting the Accept parameter to True.
