Re: EDI , AS400 and Java -- JAVA400-L

There are tons of software packages, but until you know the format, you
won't know what software you need. For instance, if the vendor
requires X.12EDI format, you'll be sending fixed format records. If
the vendor requires
SOAP EDI format, you'll be sending XML.

Hi
I got that part cleared, i will talk with the vendor
to get that information.
So but if EDI is a concept there must be some software
required to do EDI,
what is the software i will need, or is there any open
source solution for implmenting EDI
