AN-SNAP Error Classes
AN-SNAP error classes are not particularly descriptive. Here is a list of the error classes:
- 3-901: Ungroupable - Palliative Care Overnight
- 3-902: Ungroupable - Rehabilitation Overnight
- 3-903: Ungroupable - GEM Overnight
- 3-904: Ungroupable - Psychogeriatric Overnight
- 3-905: Ungroupable - All other subacute
AN-SNAP error classes can't tell you specifically what was wrong with your file, or a particular line in the file. That is, they don't explain the actual problem with your source data.
QuickSnap resolves this issue by creating a separate error log file containing a complete list of all the errors which occurred when processing your file.
QuickSnap Error Messages
Number of Data Items
The first thing QuickSnap does in batch processing, is check to see whether a line in the file has the correct number of data items.
For example, QuickSnap Native File Format expects 23 items per line. Not all of them have to be completed, but the 'placeholders' for them need to be there.
If a line has the incorrect number of items you will see the error:
- 'Line only contained x columns when y columns were required' where x = number of columns in the line, and y = number of required columns
Converting numbers and Dates
The second thing QuickSnap does is to convert the CSV file into data items. At this point it checks that numbers and dates are correctly formatted.
It will also test that numbers which represents code sets are valid for those code sets.
If an error occurs at this stage, QuickSnap will log a 'Property Error'. Property errors which you may encounter are:
| Error | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Property, Not a valid number, Phase Type, x | This is a 'Property Error', the description is 'Not a valid number', the affected data item is 'Phase Type', and the value it encountered in the file was 'x' |
| Property, Not in the range of correct values for this data item (4 to 18), RUG_ADL, 100 | The value of 100 was provided in the RUG_ADL column, but RUG_ADL can only accept a value between 4 and 18 |
| Property, Not a valid date, DateOfBirth, 1/01/190x | The value of '1/1/190x' was provided in the DateofBirth column and QuickSnap was not able to convert this to a date
