edifact.interchange-count
Applies to: edifact
What it catches and why it matters
UNZ-1 does not match the recounted messages in the interchange, or the recounted functional groups when UNG groups are used.
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).
An ungrouped UNB contains one message but ends with UNZ+2+EXAMPLE'.
How to fix it
After confirming all intended content is present, use edilint fix --write to recount UNZ-1: messages without groups, otherwise groups. Ambiguous structure, including mixed grouped and ungrouped messages in one interchange, prevents count edits.
False positives and limits
Counting messages instead of groups in a grouped interchange causes a mismatch. Confirm the envelope form before changing the trailer.
Acknowledgments and suppression
Related acknowledgment codes (apply only to the described defect): CONTRL code 29 (UCI.0085): UNZ-1 differs from the received message or group count CONTRL code 13 (UCI.0085): UNZ-1 is missing CONTRL code 37 (UCI.0085): UNZ-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/EL7005.html
