Setting Delimiters

You can set the delimiters in the Java Collaboration Editor using the methods or bean nodes that are provided in the OTDs. Use the following methods to specify delimiters:

• setDefaultX12Delimiters

• setElementSeparator

• setSegmentTerminator

• setSubelementSeparator

• setRepetitionSeparator

• setSubelementSeparator

If the input data is already in HIPAA format, you can use the get methods to retrieve the delimiters from the input data. For information, refer to Get and Set Methods.
