The View EDI File button displays the EDI Viewer window where you can print the EDI file, find character strings in the file, replace character strings, view the file in a wrapped or unwrapped format, and save the file. You can edit the EDI file if required, such as when errors occurred that required correction. You can also open another EDI file and perform the same operations on it.
From the File menu on the EDI Viewer window, you can open another EDI file (or any file), save (or Save As) the open file, or print the open file.
When you choose Open from the File menu on the EDI Viewer window, the Browse – EDI File window displays.
From the Edit menu, either Find a character string or find a string and Replace it with another character string.
If you choose Find, the Find dialog box displays. Type the character string you want to find in the Find What text box and click Enter. The character string for which you are searching displays as highlighted. To find another occurrence of the character string, click Find Next or Cancel to exit.
If you choose Replace, the Find dialog box displays with a new Replace With text box. Type the character string you want to replace in the Find What text box and the character string to be substituted in the Replace With text box.
Click the Replace key. The character string is replaced, displayed, and highlighted. To replace another occurrence of the character string, click Find Next and then Replace again. To exit the dialog box, click Cancel.
From the Options menu, view EDI in a blocked or an unblocked format.
If you choose to view the EDI file in a blocked format, the EDI Block Size dialog box displays. In the text box, type a block size between 40 and 300 and click OK. The EDI file in the EDI Viewer window now displays in blocks of the length you just specified.
