Alphanumeric data in EDIFACT: national characters
602488Dec 3 2008 — edited Jan 13 2009We are trying to send outgoing EDIFACT ORDERS (using UNOC) that contain Swedish characters. This fails with the error:
Element IMD040 data type must be 'Alphanumeric'
With UNOC the message should be able to contain the Swedish characters, which can be verified in SpecBuilder by looking at actions-edifact.ecs and the character sets. I have tried to change the default encoding in B2B, but that makes no difference. The messages in AQ (the standard queue) are coded in UTF-8 and look just fine on inspection using SQL.
What should we do in order to fix this? Is there a codelist somewhere that defines the characters that should be considered alphanumeric, or is there another option than oracle.tip.adapter.b2b.encoding that should be used for the encoding?
I think we have the latest patch (MLR#5) installed, if not it is MLR#4.
