RE: beginner question: X12 flavours
I have never heard of what your partner is describing either. Sounds like what
they are suggesting you all use is NOT ANSI 850 format.

> A new customer is asking my company to implement what they've called an X12
850 for them. In my (very limited) experience with X12 formats I expected a PO
with a data format that used a sequence of asterix-delimited lines--identified
by 2 or 3 character codes such as "ISA", "GS", "ST", "BEG" etc--that were
typically around 20-50 characters in length.

> This customer however--who is using Oracle R11i--is supplying a PO format
that's devoid of delimiter chars (other than CR) & primarily identifies data
positionally with flds they call Record Number, Record Layout, and Record Layout
Qualifier. These flds are positioned at col 92-100 and contain combined values
like "0010CTCTL" on line 1 of the transaction, "0020A1TH1" on line 2,
"0030A2TH2" on line 3 & so on. The sample data lines are typically around 200 -
500 chars in length (mostly whitespace).

I was expecting! I had assumed X12 to be a reasonably homogenous format based on
premises reasonably similar to EDIFACT, but this current customer seems to have
blown that idea out of the water :)

here from this Oracle customer?

light on the subject, and I'm keen to get some independent input before I go
back to the customer.
