Micros 3700 POS API, how to pass check status bits in the XML

[microslady]

I am needing to pass the future order check status bit, but not sure how to parse this in the request XML.

With the definition of each bit position as follows:

1 Rush Order
2 VIP Transaction
3 Employee must own the check that is being picked up
4 Allow Partial Auth
5 Future Order Check
6 thru 32 are unused

I thought it would be this,
<tns:CheckStatusBits>08000000</tns:CheckStatusBits>
but that did not flag the check as a future order check.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

The CheckStatusBits takes in Integer value.
I haven't tried this but i assume you need to convert a binary representation of the check bits to an integer as the CheckStatusBits is an integer value.

So to enable a future order set the 5th bit to 1 all other 31 bits should be zero. it should be 00001000000000000000000000000000 which when converted to an integer is 524288.

If you send 08000000 then when this is converted to an integer it is 8000000.

Actually just ignore what i said above.

I found a chunk of c# code that determines the CheckStatusBits
int CheckStatusBits = 0;
if (Rush)
{
CheckStatusBits |= 0x1;
}
if (VIP)
{
CheckStatusBits |= 0x2;
}
if (EmplMatch)
{
CheckStatusBits |= 0x4;
}
if (AllowPartialAuth)
{
CheckStatusBits |= 0x8;
}
if (FutureOrder)
{
CheckStatusBits |= 0x10;
}

Thank you for your replies CathalMF

Does this mean we send 16 (1x16+0x1) as the integer value?

 

[CathalMF]

Yes 0x10 is 16.
