EDI Basics

In this tutorial we’ll discuss how to navigate and get loops and segments from a Typed Document after it’s loaded.  Once a Typed Document is created, loops and Typed Segments can be retrieved.  Data is stored in a logical structure corresponding to the implementation guides Finding Loops    Example – Getting A Loop Typed5010Document doc = new Typed5010Document(ediValidator.EDILightWeightDocument); //Get […]

In this tutorial we’ll discuss how to parse, load and validate EDI data using NodeJS.   EDIValidator is arguably one of the most important components in RDPCrystal EDI Library.  It takes two parameters, a validation rules file and an EDI file ( or string ) to validate.   The overall validation process looks like the diagram below.  

In this tutorial we’ll discuss how to parse, load and validate EDI data using C#.Net.  Any .Net compatible language can be used, for example VB.Net.   EDIValidator is arguably one of the most important components in RDPCrystal EDI Library.  It takes two parameters, a validation rules file and an EDI file ( or string ) to validate. 

In this tutorial we’ll discuss how to use Internal and External Code Lists to validate element data.  By default some EDI elements can only contain specific values.  For example element 1 of segment ISA can only contain the values 00 or 03.  These are referred to as accepted values for an element.   Accepted values of element

In this tutorial we’ll discuss How load an 4010 810 Invoice.  The source code for this article in located in the ‘Load 810 Invoice’ sample .Net project in our FREE 30 Day Download.  We’ll use the EDIValidator component.  It takes two parameters, a validation rules file and an EDI file ( or string ) to

In this tutorial we’ll discuss how to combine separate EDI data using the EDIFileJoiner component and NodeJS.  We can combine data at the Functional Group (GS) or the Transaction Header level (ST).  The basic flow is demonstrated in the diagram below.     In this example we’re going to combine two files ( read in as strings)

RDPScript is the new powerful EDI scripting language that allows you to express your business logic around EDI validation more elegantly.  It allows you to add custom validation rules in simple, natural way. In this tutorial we will demonstrate how to use RDPScript to add validation rules to an 5010 837 Professional EDI file.  We

In this tutorial we’ll discuss how to combine separate EDI files using the EDIFileJoiner component and C#.Net.  We can combine files at the Functional Group (GS) or the Transaction Header level (ST).  The basic flow is demonstrated in the diagram below. In this example we’re going to combine two files at the Transaction Header level.  This means

But John, my EDI file is perfect!  It has the proper Interchange Header, Functional Group and Transaction Header.  My ISA segment length is exactly 106 characters!  You can’t touch it.  If you split it, it’s like splitting part of me! X12 EDI files are split into smaller ones for many reasons.  For example, The EDI

In this tutorial we’ll discuss how to consume loaded EDI data using TypedDocuments and C#.Net.  Once EDI data is loaded using either EDIValidator or EDIFileLoader that data is in memory and is available for use.  One possible usage is to save it into a database.  TypedDocuments provide an object oriented view over the EDI data and enables developers to access it with
