I am implementing an EDI-x12 header parser (only to parse “ISA” segment)
I notice that there are several character sets can be used.
My question is that how do I know that which one is used of incoming edi-x12 message so that I know how to interpret the message?
actually there is no such thing as a character set in x12.
this is up to the partners/interchange agreement.
but as X12 is mainly used in USA, it is us-ascii (almost always).
(but …..some companies send x12 as EBCEDIC ;-)))
