The use of the CR and LF are used commonly as a segment terminator.
The X12.5 information on control sets quotes:
"The equivalent representation for the EBCDIC 'new line' character is the
character pair "Carriage return" "line feed" in ASCII or IA5. If mapped in
this manner, the superfluous "line feed" is ignored, and the "carriage
return" is treated as the delimiter. For historical reasons, many systems
support this mapping for use as the SEGMENT TERMINATOR."
The above quote is right out of the X12 standards book.

What is the final word on if CR and LF are allowed as a segment terminator
for the ANSI X12 Standard?
We have been using this with over a dozen trading partners and now one, new
one, is insisting that it is illegal.
