>What is the ANSI X12 escape character?
X12 is the EDI Alcatraz ... there is no escape!
(I know I shouldn't respond to X12 queries, but I found this one
irresistible. My understanding is that you select your syntax characters
so that there is no clash with any data characters, and that an escape
character is thus not required. Threads in this list have, from time to
time, indicated that the chasm between this theory and reality has had
its share of human sacrifices.)
