In regard to:
"The ISA segment is always 105 characters in length - fixed length, so
you can get the EOS character by checking the 106th character in the EDI
text string. "
I am thrilled at the pleasure of being the first to point out *this
time* that this is not true. As long time denizens of this list will
remember, Jonathan Allen many years ago brought to our attention that
the ISA might be 106 bytes with the segment terminator in the 107th
byte, this due to the fact that the control number can be negative. True
also that this almost never happens, but if you want a bullet proof
completely compiant parser you'll need to accomodate this idiosyncracy.
