All the HIPAA transaction examples I have seen, and IG's use a tilde for a
segment separator. This segment separator is defined in the ISA segment at
the top of the transaction set. I have referenced in BizTalk server 2000
documentation where a carriage return is the most common choice as defined
in X12 standards dictionary X12.22 Our Unisys mainframe can handle a
segment as a record containing a carriage return very well, but not several
thousand segments as one record if the tilde is the separator. Your comments
on this matter are appreciated.
