BTW.....at www.Softsearch.com they have a free download of their EDI Notepad that is a great little desktop tool for anyone doing EDI. It enables you to view any EDI and will alert you to any structural errors, including improper codes utilized in segments (i.e. 128, 235) It also has a complete X12 doc behind it allowing you to view all possible qualifiers

We purchased an relatively inexpensive (compared to GenTran) Translation package. www.softsearch.com It provides many standard templates for various EDI Docs, but it is not for EDI alone. It can be used to produce EDI, XML docs (for cross platform use), and even text data files, it sends alerts, has a communication package (that we use to keep the garbage off the legacy system, stmp, ftp, AS2) It is SQL based so any data that we wish to transmit we build Tables sending a key to a shared trigger file which signals us to drop off/pick up. It is highly flexible, kept up to date with standards and has great documentation. Debra A.

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.
