ediDataSegment. RepeatSeparator

Gets the repeating element separator string that separates the repeating data elements in the data segment.

Syntax:

Remarks:

The repeating element separator separates the values of data elements that are repeated in the same data element position.  The repeating element separator is only supported in X12 after version 4010, and the character is defined in element I65 of the ISA segment.  Also, it is worthy to note that the element it replaced was element I10, which always had the value "U".  Many users moving up to versions 4020 and later are unaware of this, which causes a problem during parsing because FREDI will take all "U" characters to be the repeating element separator.
