Handling EBCDIC line feed character (0x15) in an EDI file

EBCDIC or Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code is a character encoding system developed by IBM. If you have the EBCDIC character 0x15 (which some text editors might display as NAK) used as the line feed in an EDI file, then, you can represent the line feed in your export or import file definition rules so that the file is correctly parsed or generated in a flow.

To represent the line feed in your file definition rules,

  1. Select the EDI export or import step in which you need to parse or generate the file.

  2. In How would you like to parse files? in an export or How would you like to generate files? in an import form, under EDI parser helper or EDI generator helper, click Launch.

  3. In the EDI parser helper or the EDI generator helper page that opens, under Type your file definition rules here, search for rowDelimiter and define the value as \u0015.

  4. Check the parsed output, and click Save.
