Typically you can use a TA1. Normally a TA1 is to handle a malformed ISA segment, but you could use it if you needed to.
Here is the thing. What really depends here is your frequency of occurrence. If this happens once a week, it is not worth your time to do the dev work required. If it happens frequently enough to warrant an actual effort, you stil have a couple choices. - Fix your trading partner. Nobody in this mature age of eCommerce should be sending data bad enough to crash a commercial translator. - Fix your translator. You'll need to shore it up anyway. There is no way to completely control the data that you are sent, no matter how much you fix your trading partner.
