Aloha EDC TXN file format

[posnut]

I'm doing some testing of EDC in Aloha 6+ and based on the documents I have info for most of the fields. File format is something like shown below for the request I'm interested in processing. If I add a line with "approved yes" to the file and rename it to .ANS, the FOH picks up the file and approves the transaction, however it approves it for $0 instead of the AUTHAMT. I assume there is another field I need to add with the actual amount authorized/redeemed (since partial redeem is supported according to docs), but I do not see this field name listed in the docs. Does anyone have more info? I'm testing this on a separate copy of Aloha running in demo mode, so could it also be a limitation due to that, do I need to test on a keyed version?

Found the values I was looking for. I had tried APPROVEDAMT (with "D") but not APPROVEAMT... in all previous testing. Finally found these values after using Process Explorer to view the in-memory strings of the iberd process and searching on other strings that I figured should be in the same area of memory (such as GC_REDEEM):

curbalance 13.00
approveamt 11.00
approved yes

curbalance is what shows up as the remaining balance on the check, for the gift card

approveamt is what you need to set to the authamt, if full approval, otherwise partial value works too
