edifact / error
EL7004
edifact.group-count
Applies to: edifact
What it catches and why it matters
UNE-1 does not match the recounted messages in the functional group.
Failing example
These synthetic fragments illustrate the defect; they are not complete interchange files. Backslash escapes name bytes such as \r (CR) and \n (LF).
A UNG contains one UNH/UNT message but ends with UNE+2+GROUP1'.
How to fix it
After confirming all intended messages are present, use edilint fix --write to recount UNE-1. The file must have complete, consistently nested envelopes and valid service characters.
False positives and limits
Bad nesting or missing message headers can change the observed total. A corrected trailer count does not prove payload completeness.
Acknowledgments and suppression
Related acknowledgment codes (apply only to the described defect): CONTRL code 29 (UCF.0085): UNE-1 differs from the received message count CONTRL code 13 (UCF.0085): UNE-1 is missing CONTRL code 37 (UCF.0085): UNE-1 contains letters where digits are required CONTRL references use syntax-error element 0085, not action element 0083. UCI, UCF and UCM report interchange, group and message service-segment errors respectively. A missing or unreadable header can prevent a valid CONTRL response. Truncation, orphaned envelopes and data outside an interchange have no single mapping here.

To accept the occurrences a file already has without suppressing the rule, record them with --write-baseline and run with --baseline. Reference: https://crb2nu.github.io/edilint/rules/EL7004.html
