Gentran NT doesn't require the X12 elements to be delimited by asterisks.
What Sterling network will do is convert all element delimiters to * and the
segment delimiters to ~. I didn't know that when I first started receiving
test data from my trading partners. I thought it was just a coincidence
that were using the same characters. I found this out because I had a
trading partner that was sending astericks in the NTE records and it was
causing the mapping program to see it as errors. I ended up calling the
network and had them turn off that feature for that trading partner.
I think the program determines the delimiters while the file is being
processed for inbound documents. For outbound documents you can specify the
delimeters in the Partner Editor for your outbound document.
I haven't had to connect to Harbinger so I can't help you there.
P.S.

Subject: Gentran NT Questions
Hello All,
�
I am�migrating�our EDI translator from Trinary on a VAX to Gentran NT.� It
appears Gentran NT expects all X12 elements to be delimited by�an * asterisk
and the segments to be delimited by the ~ tilde character before translating
the data.� Gentran NT comes with a utility XPROCESS which will reformat the
X12 data but with the variety of delimiters used by our trading partners I
would need to run XPROCESS several times against the received data.� I am
interested in how other Gentran users accomplished this and if�reformatting
the data is really necessary.
�
In addition, does anyone have a working logon script for the Harbinger
Network or information on the sequence of commands for uploading/downloading
files?� I tried talking to several customer support people at Harbinger and
they didn't seem to understand what I was requesting.
�
Thanks,
Brad
