Hi guys!
I am not sure what happened with the messaged I e-mailed the other day about EDI, but I don't see it being posted here, so, - here I go again :)
Has anyone worked with EDI protocols on the communication side? I am pre-releasing a quick'n'dirty 'Double-Sided/Double Entry' EDI full-cycle processing by January 1st. Right now it'll go as is, half in VFP and half in SmartTerm (through DDE). I'll say in advance that I am not ready for that notorious ActiveX that everybody is talking about. But I do need to be able to perform file transfers in compliance with ASC 12/ACS 12.6 communication protocols. My ideal solution will be to do it in VFP, without firing DDE conversation or any other conversation for that matter, just use good old OpenComm/ReadComm/WriteComm/CloseComm with all intermediate FlushComm's and such. Can anyone give me a short but exact sequence for all those API's for both Send and Receive procedures? I would greatly appreciate it!
Some things are better be left unknown...NOT!!!
