PI90397: USING SEGMENT TERMINATOR OF CR FOR INBOUND DATA GENERATES A MIXTURE OF CRLF AND CR FOR SPLIT GROUPS AND TRANSACTIONS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Using a segment terminator of Carriage Return (CR) for inbound
  data (deenveloping) leads to a mixture of Carriage
  Return/Line Feeds pairs and Carriage Returns for split groups
  and transactions where where envelope headers/trailers are
  maintained.
  

Local fix

• ITXARTC - RTC00061262
  TR / TR
  Circumvention: None
  

Problem summary

• When a terminator is set to be CR, the deenvelope process is
  adding CRLF's to the output.
  

Problem conclusion

• Problem Conclusion: Outbound flows making consistent use of CRLF
   were fixed by RTC#61144. However, inbound cases for split
  documents (groups and transactions) were not fixed in cases
  where the envelope headers/trailers are maintained.
  Subsequently, this leads to a mixture of CR and CRLF when the
  segment terminator is CR. Fix all inbound code paths making
  consistent use of CRLF when CR is the segment terminator.
  Platforms Affected: Windows
  Customers Affected: Customers who process X12 data where the
  segment terminator is CR.
  Applies to: SPE.COMMON.9.0.0.7 and SPE.COMMON.9.0.0.8
  

Temporary fix
