ediDataSegment. ReleaseIndicator

Returns the Release Indicator used in the message (or Transaction Set).

Syntax:

Returns:

A string indicating the release indicator character.

Remark:

A release indicator is used before a data with the same character as any of the terminators being used in the document so as to indicate that the character is part of the data and not a terminator.  Release indicators are only supported in the UN/EDIFACT standard.  However, FREDI allows the use of release indicators in X12 standard also.
