Re: [HAPI-devel] Segment Terminator Rules for PIPE format

[Nico V. <ni...@sk...>]

Hi Jim,

Could you please send me the peace of code you're using to construct the 
message ?

What version of hapi are you using ?

Are you sure that your string "State Laboratory Institute" doesn't contain 
a carriage return linefeed after the "Laboratory" ?

It's not allowed to send a carriage return linefeed (ASCII 13 + 10) in a 
HL7 message.

A carriage return (ASCII 13) is allowed/required but only as segment 
terminator (after each segment).

Best Regards

Nico
