Everybody who handles EDIFACT messages, at least once in his life, needs to have a closer look at the message/segment contents in order to figure out the reason of a mapping failure: well, it's a dirty job but someone got to do it...
Then things may get harder when message has no CR/LF breaks and your EDIFACT translator has not a built in tool to make message readable: find out the error becomes a real nightmare !
Well, a reader of this blog (off course smart people read smart blog :D) has created a web application with the following features:
- Adding a CR/LF after every segment ends;
- Properly numerate every line/segment of the message.
You can have a look at this new brand project here and maybe, in the future, the developer will also add some extra features, who knows... :)
I have also added the site in the Web Utilities section.
Thank you Nick for sharing your good job !
Thank you, Giuseppe :-)
ReplyDeleteWhile development has somewhat stalled recently, I just wanted to come here to tell that we moved the site over to http://EDIFACTviewer.com - we figured that this would be easier to remember for international users..
Hello Nick !
DeleteIt's a pleasure read you again :)
I have updated the link into the 'Web Utilities' section.
Let us know in case of further developments !
