I was going to have a quick look at the specs, just out of curiosity.
But they wanted $50 for a copy of it. So obviously I didn't have a quick
look at the specs. But I did find another page which said that it was a
binary format and that it could have embedded images, does that sound
right from your reading?
If that's the case then you're going to have to be careful to avoid
ASCII-to-EBCDIC conversion. Doing that to a TIFF file would be bad news.
But it is possible to write RPG programs which read and write files in
the IFS file system, I've done that before. I wouldn't expect to be able
to do anything with the embedded images except treat them as a lump of
bytes, though.

Subject: Experience working with Check 21 file format X9.37
Hi all:
My manager asked me to look into importing check data and images, for
Check 21, from files in the X9.37-2003 format.
I've have some PDFs which explain the file format layout but I haven't
found any example or test files that I can compare the documentation to.
Any suggestions where I can find sample or test files? Would you happen
to have one you could share (has to be a safe, clean file - no
confidential information)?
My boss is hard core RPG'r and wants this done in RPG. Personally I
think it is more suitable for Java (or C shudders). Does anyone have
any experience either way?
Thanks
Bill Blalock
