If this is for a ANSI 837 transaction set, for example: sending claims to Medicare:
Element separator: 124 '|' Sub-element separator: 094 '^' Segment terminator 126 '~' Those are all ASCII, visible, printable codes so you should not have to use the hex value. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kurt Wendt" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, August 16, 2012 9:54 AM Subject: EDI, Hex & VFP - Oh My... Hey folks, I'm a little stumped on something. Here at my day job, I have to deal with EDI stuff - and I do it all the time. But, a new upgrade for this one Trading Partner is requiring a strange code to be sent back - as displayed in the line below. Strangely enough, I was surprised to see the character appear below (after the "to" and before the "or") - since, when I tried to insert this Text into VFP - just to print on-screen, the character shown below does not appear - but, instead a blank space appears in VFP. So - of course, I am having difficulty figuring how to send back this character. Here is the line of instructions on this particular EDI upgrade: o ISA11 needs to be changed to ¬ or Hex 5F As such, I figured I would try to implement via the Hexcode. But, how exactly do I use HexCodes in VFP. I know the ASC() and CHR() commands, but, AFAIK - that's for purely Ascii code and NOT for Hex code. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
