I would allow the specification of element seperators and segment terminators in the Partner setup. Some are abnormal - JCPenney uses stars * in their data, and sends bells hex07 as element seperators. Another alternative is to link the choice of seperators and terminators with the transmission type. VAN, ftp, AS2, flat-file. When doing testing, it would be very useful to allow the segment terminator to be 2 characters (CR/LF). Although it is technically wrong, it makes the document easy to read in a Windows environment. Most testing systems (WalMart, Inovis, etc.) allow uploading of these files. Earl Wertheimer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.spe-edi.com ...
