Hi George, I have not, but I spent a few minutes looking into it. > > Of course there is a huge industry out there spun to deal with this > problem, but I was wondering if anyone have had to tackle the issue using J > and if you think it's a doable project for J. > I think we would need a bit more information about what you see for the project. Are you interested in building a library in J capable of parsing and interpreting all the various types of X12 messages or do you just need to work with a subset? If you were working with a small subset then I would consider implementing just what is necessary to parse those messages. If it's many messages, then I would lean towards integrating with something that has already solved the problem. The spec sounds reasonably complex and to make use of the information, the definitions are required. Here's one possible implementation to work with: https://x12parser.codeplex.com/ Here's the 997 specification out of the nearly 1000 options https://x12parser.codeplex.com/SourceControl/latest#trunk/src/OopFactory.X12/Specifications/Ansi-997-4010Specification.xml ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
