Not if it is an X12 or EDIFACT interchange. Older specialised EDI
standards such as VDA (German motor industry) or BISAC (US book trade)
did not use delimited records.
However there is a nasty gap between what should happen and what does
happen. The transmission method may not be neutral. In the real world a
translator may be faced with interchange files which have been blocked
and padded to fixed length records, contain mail header or routing
records, and have been arbitrarily word wrapped by a mail system.
Our translator can handle these cases, except for a word wrapped
interchange which also uses newline as a segment delimiter!
