If you are running on NT you can use the EDICLEAN utility program you can find at my web site, www.talsystems.com, Click on the "Tech Corner" tab and look for EDICLEAN. That will reformat from any format to any other format, removing "junk" along the way and your applications may then assume your ANSI X12 data are, indeed, in the format required by your application. (Can be used to change from 'nix (newline = 0x0A) to pc (0x0D0A) or vice versa, too. But you probably already have something to do that). I haven't counted downloads on that in a while, lets' see...21 downloads last month. Not too bad, considering that's been available for six-eight years now.... Michael C. Mattias Tal Systems Inc.
