# Check identifier 88888 — CONTRL
Check identifier **88888** · EDIFACT message type **CONTRL** · format version **202610**
:::info{title="This page is derived from the application handbook"}
The MACO APP does not carry this check identifier. The complete Prüfi pages of this level are produced from the specifications of the application — one class in the templater per check identifier — and that is where the **assignment to the business objects (BO4E)** comes from: which object carries which field of the message.
The catalogue of the application handbook is the larger set. This page therefore shows what the handbook itself provides — use case, process context and the AHB field list with its conditions. A data structure according to BO4E is not shown, and not because there is none, but because the application does not form one for this check identifier.
All check identifiers in this situation — and the corresponding figures — are listed by [the overview of this version](/en/schnittstellen/202610/pruefi/nicht-gefuehrt).

### Conditions of this table
The free text of the 6 conditions referenced by the rows above. All conditions of the message type are listed in the [condition index CONTRL](/en/referenz/202610/ahb-bedingungen/CONTRL).
| Marker | Condition |
|---|---|
| **[1]** | If a specification is possible. |
| **[2]** | If a syntax error is present in UNH. |
| **[3]** | If a syntax error is present in UNT. |
| **[5]** | If an error is present at segment (group) level. |
| **[6]** | If an error is present at data element, component data element or data group level. |
| **[8]** | If SG1 UCM DE0013 is present. |
:::note{title="Editorial — not derived from a source"}
**What this CONTRL refers to.** The negative CONTRL rejects a received transmission file (`UCI` DE0083 `4`, »Diese Ebene und alle tieferen Ebenen zurückgewiesen«, this level and all lower levels rejected; the error is in DE0085). Like the positive one, it names the file in `UCI`: DE0020 takes over the interchange reference from the `UNB` of the received file, DE0004 and DE0010 its sender and recipient. It names each rejected message in it in a group `UCM`: DE0062 takes over the message reference number from the `UNH` of the message, DE0065 its message type; the faulty position follows below in `UCS` and `UCD`. No field for these references is documented in the JSON of the MACO APP: `zusatzdaten.contrlReferenz` is defined in the BO4E schema, but without a description and used in no interface.

## Belongs to these role views
There is no role view for this check identifier: in this format version no process step of any market role carries it. A role statement would stand here without evidence.
None of the evaluated tables lists a use case for this check identifier. The page therefore carries only the field list of the application handbook — that is the information the source provides.
:::caution{title="No process assignment available"}
For PI_88888, no entry exists in any of the evaluated BDEW tables. Regulatory determination, process step and communication direction can therefore not be stated.
:::
The status column carries two vocabularies because the manual answers two questions: on a **group row**, *Muss*, *Soll* or *Kann* states whether the EDIFACT segment must be present; on a **field row**, *X* states that this qualifier is used in this check identifier. Both are kept exactly as the source records them.
For this check identifier, the application handbook lists **100 rows**. They appear in the order of the handbook, indented by segment: a row without a data element opens a segment, the rows below it are its data elements.
The **Condition** column names the markers under which the handbook ties a row to a prerequisite; their free text is below the table.
