Buddy is trying to test a program that was written to read in multi-segment input messages.

His BTSIN is currently:

Select all

TRANCODE 001*BODY    000000100001*TRAILER 001$ 

He says that he gets the first segment OK, but the second read gets the 'QC'

I've never done this, and I can't find examples of it in the books. Does this need to be formatted differently for BTS, like maybe:

Select all

TRANCODE 001*
BODY    000000100001
*TRAILER 001$ 

Or something like that?

Apparently, the answer was:

Select all

TRANCODE 002*                             
BODY    000000100001*                   
BODY    000000100002*                   
TRAILER 002$
