EDI Converter Tool 850 to 940

I need to convert an x12 850 v4010 to a x12 940 v4010. Most of the tools convert from x12 to xml then I would need to map the xml to a 940.

PL/SQL for parsing EDI (X12, NCPDP, HL7)

I have some EDI messages (X12, HL7, etc ...) stored in an Oracle database. I sometimes want to pull out individual fields (e.g. ISA-03). Currently, I have some really ugly sql. I'd like to create a PL/SQL package to make it easier and was wondering if anybody had already done this. I imagine something like: select edi.x12.extract...

Best way to convert XML to X12 and X12 to XML

Looking for a tool/library to convert XML to X12 (270 - medical eligibility request) and then to convert the X12 response (271 - eligibility response) back to XML.

X.509 v3 certificate with non-repudiation and/or digital signature? Where can I get one?

Hi, To get things working as they should with AS2 protocol signatures, I need a digital certificate with keyUsage extensions 0 and/or 1 (nonRepudiation and/or digitalSignature).

Why is EDI still used, and how to deal with it?

Why is this archaic format still used in the face of easier-to-use technologies? Does it provide some benefit that I'm not seeing? It seems that a large amount of vendors still provide data only in this format, instead of something more manageable and easier to use such as XML; at the least it would make sense to me to offer both forma...

BizTalk 2006 R2 EDI

Hi guys, I have an working orchestration in place to process X12 messages. Now I need to expose the orchestration as a webservice (ASMX) that accepts a text input (the X12 message) and returns the text response (the X12 response). If I try to use the wizard, the generated webservice will expose the inner XML representation of the X12 re...

EDI equivalent in the .net world

I work for a small company. Currently we are re-writing our legacy application in c#. There is one part of the application that uses EDI, and I don't know where to look for solutions in the .net world. I have heard about BIZTALK but not sure as to if that is the solution. Also there is no BIZTALK EXPRESS edition like SQL SERVER EXPRESS E...

Basically they need an 80-character fixed width text file, with certain "chunks" of the field with data and others left blank. I have the documentation so I know what the length of each "chunk" is. The response that I get back ...

EDI X12 standard - Where can I find a definition for this?

I've got a project I took over from someone that requires data to be exported in the EDI X12 Standard (837P) format. Although I have been able to find some samples that are useful I haven't been able to find anything that defines what the possible "segments" are and what they mean. The previous developer has quite a bit of work done, but...
