Shouldn't be. Sounds to me like the person at Advantis is misinformed. The EDIFACT syntax (aka ISO 9735) specifies "default" separators that must be recognized if no UNA segment is sent immediately prior to the UNB header segment. There are two default sets depending upon the character set and syntax version chosen, but in neither case is x'7D' the default segment terminator. If x'7D' is to be used as the terminator, then the interchange must be preceded by a UNA that defines all of the separators to be used.
Additionally, even though it shouldn't be necessary, I believe you can use a UNA segment that specifies the default characters. I don't know if your translation software permits this but it might be worth a try.

But here is something odd. Advantis tells me that the "accepted" EDIFACT segment terminator is HEX 7D. That looks wrong. Is this a UNIX thing?

That might be your problem in that there are characters that don't convert well from EBCDIC to ASCII and screw up your documents. Just a thought.

We just switched platforms from mainframe to AIX, and Advantis is balking at the tick mark (hex 27). Oddly enough, in a XP test box, when I send the same files FTP'd from the AIX box, they work like a charm. And ideas? Thanks, Dan Cotto-Thorner [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
