RE: Processing EDI stream file from Medicaid?

Don:
IS this real EDI or something like NSF2.0?
Most of the translators can handle data wrapped into either 80 or 132 byte
records.  So just created a PF or either 80 or 132, then use the CPYFRMSTMF
command and used the *FIXED option to load the data to the PF.  The data
will be wrapped.   You can then pass that data to your translator.  If you
must have the data as one segment per record, you then can write a little
program to unwrap the data.  It is a pretty easy program to write.
Regards,
cjg

It looks to me that both cpyfrmstmf & cpyfrmimpf
restricts end of line to either *all, *crlf, *lf, *cr,
*lfcr, or *fixed.
