Setting Delimiters

To set delimiters we use the ASCII number of the characters.

Example

const STAR = 42; //’*’

const COLON = 58 //’:’

const TILDA = 126 //’~’

const CARET = 94 //’^’

doc.Delimiters.ElementTerminatorCharacter = STAR;

doc.Delimiters.CompositeTerminatorCharacter = COLON;

doc.Delimiters.SegmentTerminatorCharacter = TILDA;

doc.Delimiters.RepetitionCharactor = CARET;

The Repetition Character was introduced by the X12 EDI format and used in version 5010 of the implementation guides. By default this value is ‘^’. The repeating character will be used for both repeating elements and repeating composite elements.
