RE: EDI and Inovis from Library Data

Bill,

EDI is stream data, not particularly compatible with a PF.

What's the data look like in the PF?


If I were going to try this, I'd send an IFS stream file.

HTH,
Charles

Subject: EDI and Inovis from Library Data

I am attempting to send an EDI 997 transaction to Inovis (a
VAN). I am doing an FTP PUT operation directly from a native
Database File using the format PUT library/file.member to a
folder/file on Inovis. I have tried to do all manner of
ASCII conversions - or have attempted to - using the QASCII
table, specifying the AScii operation within FTP, etc.

Nothing seems to work. Inovis keeps kicking out my data and
I'm getting terribly frustrated. Inovis has closed my
Support call since "we are not using Inovis' software" to
generate the 997 and send to them.

Someone must be doing outgoing EDI documents (without an EDI
Ttranslator) to Inovis. Help!

Bill
