RB T07 - Batch number non-numeric, all zeros, or does not match batch number in header record

Batch Number is a three-digit field containing a batch sequence number generated by the terminal. The batch number must be numeric, cannot contain all zeros, and must be 001-999. This field is right-justified and zero-filled. This number should be incremented by one for each new batch created in the terminal. The VISA data capture host uses this number to detect duplicate batches. The batch number is in the header and the trailer records and must have the same value. The system validates the data element type and length of this field.
