An update to OBOE Open Business Objects for EDI has been posted on the American Coders web site. For more information visit http://www.OpenBusinessObjects.com This release is a bug fix release. OBOE translates between several Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) document formats and EDI/XML files. The package is targeted at legacy EDI users who want to integrate their systems with the Internet quickly and easily using standards based technology. The OBOE engine is available with an Open Source license. Release 2.4.3 July 15, 2001 Minor changes to classes and methods. NumericDE class changed for EDIFact floating point types. These fields are defined in the xml rules files as type="N". Changed the set(String) method to ignore decimal separator character if no decimal positions used in numeric field. Changed validate(String) method to count the number of digits in set field. If more digits are used than the field's defined max length then an error message is returned. Improved error handling in the transactionSetRules parser (part of the TransactionSetFactory class) Error messages are a bit more meaningful and more runtime exceptions are handled. In a future release the DTD file will be dropped in favour of an XSD file so fewer parsing errors will need to be handled by the transactionSetRules parser. --- Joe McVerry, President and Chief Technical Officer American Coders Ltd.
