Handling of EDI File format

Post by MaheshKumar Sugunaraj »

Hi All,

Could anyone please share their experience of handling EDI file formats?

Currently they have parsers to parse the EDI data to write on to mulitple flat files, Would be great if you'll could share any other way of handling the same.

Many thanks in advance.

With Regards
Mahesh

Datastage TX can also be used to handle EDI.

Hi Balaji, Thats an option, but I wanted to know how this could be handled in DS Server.

Of course it can, if you know the format. You can read each line as a single VarChar, and process (segregate?) the different line types via a Transformer stage. The rest is up to you.
