Thanks I will correct the documentation on this! > The program as supplied seems to need to be installed in > /usr/share/freeb or else > it will not find the freeb PERL libs, without some adjustment of the > library path that > PERL uses. That is also true, and I should have documented that as well... > When you run ./formatbin/x12.pl you get an error: > > Cannot Create : Inappropriate ioctl for device at formatbin/hcfa.pl > line 7. > > but this means you need to run x12.pl with 2 arguments, a "billing > key" and the name of a logfile This is also true, and needs documentation. Also the program should spew more meaningful errors. The reason for this is that this script is normally called from the FreeB server, you can call it from the command line for testing purposes > I tried ./formatbin/x12.pl 555 ./logfile & > > Then it ran OK, although on the x12.pl I see this, but don't know what > it means: > > NM1*PR*2*AAA INSURANCE*****PI*741234~ > Argument "" isn't numeric in subtraction (-) at > ./test/PM_Server_Sim.01.pl line 1178. > Argument "" isn't numeric in numeric ge (>=) at > ./test/PM_Server_Sim.01.pl line 266. > HL*3*2*23*0~ > Argument "" isn't numeric in subtraction (-) at > ./test/PM_Server_Sim.01.pl line 1178. > PAT*19~ That is a flaw in the way PM_Server_Sim.pl It actually does not make any difference. you will want to run PM_Server_Sim.pl in a seperate window, so that you can watch its errors in the foreground. Rather than running it in the background of the same terminal that you are running the format scripts in! Thanks for the testing, These changes will make it into the next version of the documentation!!
