37 NESMA 计算事务文件 案例

37 COUNTING TRANSACTION FILES（计算事务文件）

问题描述

系统A为系统B生成一个事务文件。该文件包含多个记录类型（具有不同的逻辑布局），无法单独检索。
这是应算作一个还是多个外部输出？

讨论

关键问题是规则8.2.g.或规则8.1.j.是否必须应用。
规则8.2.g规定，一个输出产品可以包括多个外部输出。在以下情况下：

1. 有几个不同的逻辑布局可以单独检索，或者
2. 存在若干不同的逻辑布局，它们通过不同的逻辑处理方式建立并被组合以便于使用。

这条规则不适用于这里。根据定义，事务文件不能单独检索，这里也不存在易用性问题。

这里有一个事务文件。规则8.2.j.涉及这种情况。根据该规则，如果逻辑布局或处理不同，则存在不同的外部输出。这对应于问题描述中描述的情况。

答案

在这种情况下，应用规则8.2.j。因此有几个外部输出。

Problem description

System A produces a transaction file for system B. This file contains several record types (with different logical layouts), which cannot be retrieved individually.

Should this be counted as one or more external outputs?

Discussion

The key question is whether rule 8.2.g. or rule 8.2.j. must be applied.
Rule 8.2.g states that one output product can comprise several external outputs. This is the case when:

1. there are several different logical layouts which can be retrieved individually, or
2. there are several different logical layouts that have been established by different logical ways of processing and are combined for ease-of-use.

This rule is not applicable here. By definition transaction files cannot be retrieved individually and ease-of-use is not in question here.

There is one transaction file here. Rule 8.2.j. relates to this situation. According to this rule there are different external outputs if the logical layout or the processing is different. This corresponds to the situation described in the problem description.

Solution

In this situation apply rule 8.2.j. So there are several external outputs.
