Difference between wm.b2b.edi:convertToValues and pub.flatFile:convertToValues

  • 1.  Difference between wm.b2b.edi:convertToValues and pub.flatFile:convertToValues

    Posted Fri January 27, 2006 07:26 PM

    Hi,

    Flat file
    PurchaseOrderPO1+080502Buyer+ABC Corp.+123 Main St.+Fairfax+VA+22030!
    OrderDetail10011.00!
    OrderDetail    **!

    Output when I used wm.b2b.edi:convertToString
    PurchaseOrderPO1|080502Buyer|ABC Corp.|123 Main St.|Fairfax|VA|22030+OrderDetail1001*1.00+

    Output when I used pub.flatFile:convertToString
    PurchaseOrderPO1|080502Buyer|ABC Corp.|123 Main St.|Fairfax|VA|22030+OrderDetail1001*1.00+OrderDetail+

    Is there any other difference between these services?

    Regards,
    Pauly

    Each has its own pros and cons…but why you want to use both the services when you are getting required o/p.

    Any reason behind it?

    edi:convertToString is meant for EDI Standard files like X12, EDIFACT.
    flatFile:convertToString is meant for any other custom (non-standard) file format.
    Using flatFile:convertToString on EDI Standard files will produce unpredictable results.
