Re: what is meaning of ** in edi data stream

[Steve Richter <stephenrichter@xxxxxxxxx>]

EDI is kind of interesting. A lot of noise when I search the web for EDI
specs. Like every site I clicked on is looking to sell something.

Is there a site from which I can download the official EDI spec?  Two I am
working with now are the 945 and 846.

And what is the great value of an EDI translator?  I was able to parse the
846 ( inventory snapshot ) pretty quickly with RPG procedures. I can see
using a translator when sending a properly formatted document.
