RE: EDI and Inovis from Library Data

As you suggested, the problem is not with the ASCII translation, but with
the fixed record length of the database file. It's really strange that this
works beautifully with other FTP sites and other VANs.

What is the best command to use to copy a database file to true stream file
(with no fixed record length)? CPYTOSTMF, CPYTOIMPF, something else?

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
