    When running the BN106, it was determined that although it is suppossed to generate a HIPAA834-compliant file, it does not actually do so.

    The file created by BN106 does not include header records, trailer records or field or segment delimiters, all of which are required for the HIPAA834 format. Additionally, Lawson does not even provide a translation tool that would populate these records/fields as necessary. (I thought the ED501 might, but I am told this is not so.)

    How have people gotten around this problem? Thank you.

      We use Gentran to translate the file into the EDI (HIPAA 834) format. And after translation, Gentran encrypts (PGP), and then FTP's the file to the provider.
