3016.0. "Inserting header into unstructured documnet" by GIDDAY::REID (David Reid,CSC,Sydney DTN 730-7233) Mon Feb 17 1997 01:47

Greetings,

A bit of a big ask...

Customer running EDI V2.1 on Vax is sending out documents to a fax gateway which
acknowledges back with a clear text acknowledgement that document has been
recieved. Of course this does not "acknowledge" message to EDI.

A request from the Customer has been made to see if there is a way of
dynamically inserting in the header of the acknowledgement some data that will
allow the cancellation of the sent status...

Any thoughts, suggestions..

Thanks,

Hi,

There's nothing that you could put into the header.

However there is some code lurking there that was meant to assist those
writing their own CONTRL message systems. 

I think Marko Einamo has some code that does this. If the customer was
able to make the ack look like an EDIFACT CONTRL  you may be able to
take advantage of that.
