Matt If it's malformed, not readable and not a regular thing, you can ignore it or do what you are doing.
The entire point of the 997 is to acknowledge receipt of a valid X12 document (and optionally, indicate a problem). If it's invalid, you shouldn't be sending back a 997. If they don't get back your 997 in a reasonable amount of time, then they should be asking about it, or resending the document... It's _really_ rare to see an invalid document... Are you sure that it's not something on your side?
