I wrote a suite of Windows applications for HIPAA EDI transaction sets using UniDynArrays and U2 databases.
I parse the EDI documents into dynamic arrays and store individual transactions completely in one record. The nesting of the EDI document is transformed into the nesting of fields, values, subvalues, textvalues and even subtextvalues (chr(250) as delimiter). HIPAA deals primarily with the 837 healthcare claim, which is truly complex. The Dynamic array allows me to store and reproduce EDI records a task that a truly normalized database needs upwards of 70 dependent tables. Healthcare has extensive exchanges of EDI records between providers, payers, repricing organizations and the government. My clients use just a subset of the data which they select for their legacy application while I take care of the integrity and completeness of the record.

We have a very painful, labor intensive way that we do EDI. From the way we create the X12 documents to our users inputing information to be sent in an EDI message. I would like to start evaluating alternative methods to our current practices. All suggestions welcome. Norm No virus found in this incoming message.
