Chapter Twenty-one — EDGARView Integration (continued)
The EDGAR Archive object allows the loading, mapping and extraction of EDGAR data from Public Dissemination System (PDS) and return copy files.
The basic process involves opening a PDS or Return Copy file and then using the object handle to extract data.
PDS files will not contain all documents originally submitted to the SEC and may contain additional information not filed. Confidential information will be redacted, this includes the document type ‘COVER’. For filings containing XBRL, all the XBRL viewer information is included in the PDS. For a typical filing, this can significantly increase the document count.
In addition, there are Legato functions for referencing the EDGAR Archive.
21.3.2 Extended Error Information
Since the archive and return copy must be parsed from a source from the SEC and the data may be corrupt or of an incorrect format, there are sub codes returned and combined with the ERROR_SYNTAX formatted code.
1 – Syntax error in the formatting of the PDF container.
2 – Syntax error in the formatting of the container for ZIP, Excel, JPG or GIF files.
3 – Incorrect sequence (ie., expected <DOCUMENT> tag).
4 – Incorrect sequence (ie., end of document header group not found).
5 – Hit end of file before end of document.
6 – Expected document delimiter not found in return copy format.
7 – Invalid data within return copy document header.
In many cases, the extended error message may have additional details regarding the point of failure, such as the source line number and or condition.
