X12 envelope

[Rick Pritchett]

For a X12 to X12 xlate do i need to use a proc to strip off the header and trailer segments?

Yes.

There are provided procs but the strip header proc is flawed.

what is the flaw?

[Jim Kosloskey]

It does not provide for you to specify if the envelope is at the GS or the ST level even though the indication is there that it will.

OK i have gotten the split to work my issue is now with build side i get this error in the log: hciX12buildinterchange -> X12lib::joinX12: Message metadata field does not contain GS.  So how would i modify the proc in order to include this in my meta data?

[Jim Kosloskey]

That is the flaw.

The proc works but only works one way – assuming the GS/GE segment set is to be in the message and not in the metadata. I don’t think that is what you want.

You can either make a copy of the proc and modify it so that it functions properly or I have a version I modified that I am using with satisfaction and if you want it you can have it.

[Jim Kosloskey]

You should have it.
