How to get the BusinessConnect EDI protocol to ignore leading zeros and trailing blanks in X12 or EDIFACT documents?
Resolution
This can be corrected by modifying the default .apf file setting for the instream engine. This can be done as follows:
1). Go to the file $TIBCO_HOME/instream/<version number>/bin/$fsdeflt.apf. Back it up, and then open it.
2). Under [Analyzer Options], go to the entry:
CheckLeadingZeros=1
and change it to:
CheckLeadingZeros=0
For trailing blanks, change:
CheckTrailingBlanks=1
to
CheckTrailingBlanks=0
to eliminate trailing blank checks.
3). Save the file and restart the engine.
