Alice, The ISA11 is like the 4th character in the ISA. The I/G's use the term 'delimiter' and 'separater' interchangeably. None of the following may be permitted to be in the data. Data element delimiter / separater Segment delimiter / separator Sub-element (repetition) delimiter / separator
It does not matter if you are not using repeating fields in the X12 data itself. Once the character has been declared in the ISA, it is prohibited from appearing in the data. Your received X12 is violating X12 standards. Hope all is well, Pete -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alice Raia Sent: Friday, November 03, 2006 3:05 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [EDI-L] ISA11 in v4030 Forward - "Repitition Separator" All - I need a sanity check on the ISA11 in version 4030 forward. This element is defined as the "repetition separator": "The repetition separator is a delimiter and not a data element; this field provides the delimiter used to separate repeated occurrences of a simple data element or a composite data structure; this value must be different than the data element separator, component element separator, and the segment terminator." The way I read the above, since this field is defined as a DELIMITER, it should never be set to a value that may actually occur in the EDI data. Is this how others understand this element ? My translator is taking an inbound 850/4030 with a "U" defined in the ISA11 and removing all instances of "U" in the EDI data when it parses the EDI. This is causing major problems in that our maps check for PO1 qualifiers of "UP" and "UK" and make decisions based on those values. Post parsing, those values are simply "P" and "K". Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Alice Raia ...
