EDSA User's Manual, Part 3

EDSA version 5.00.0001 July 1999

REVIEW ERROR REPORTS

1. The screen on the EDSA main menu will show you the number of errors in each file: Sample Errors and Result Errors.

2. Select one of the three buttons to review the Error Reports: Sample Errors, Result Errors, or Analyte Warnings, then click on the "Display" button (Figure 8).

3. The selected report will open up in a Windows Notepad file.

Sample Errors: this report details errors that are found in the HZSAMPLE file. The name of this file is "ersample.txt."

Result Errors: this report details errors that are found in the HZRESULT file. The name of this file is "erresult.txt."

Analyte Warnings: this report is a list of analytes whose associated CAS # is not recognized by the EDSA program. The name of this file is "rstp.txt." The EDSA program includes a file that lists common analytical parameters and associated CAS #s. At this time, the list does not include synonyms for the various analytes (i.e., the list includes trichloroethylene, but does not include trichloroethene). Therefore, if the result file includes trichloroethene as an analytical parameter, EDSA will flag this as a possible error (refer to the NOTE at the end of this section), and include it in this "analyte warnings" report. The submitting party should review this file prior to submittal to the SRP, to verify the following:

1. Verify that the CAS # matches the analytical parameter, even if a synonym
   
   Examples:

   1. You listed the analytical parameter as trichloroethene, and the Analyte Warnings report states that the CAS # listed is for trichloroethylene; this would be acceptable.

   2. You listed the analytical parameter as trichloroethene, and the Analyte Warnings report states that the CAS # listed is for benzene; this would be unacceptable. In situations where the CAS # does not match the analytical parameter, you need to make the appropriate corrections.

2. If the contaminant is a Tentatively Identified Compound (TIC), you should verify that the letter T is in the Result Type (RESULTTYPE) field for that specific contaminant.

NOTE: At this time, incorrect analytes will not cause the data to fail the EDSA check, if these are the only error. In the future this will changed, and the analyte must be presented according to the SRP valid values list.
