Custom Header & Support For EBCDIC format #6

Closed indper closed 7 years ago

indper commented 7 years ago

Hi Igor,

I want to know how to custom header value. For Example: Header length (bytes) and option for message length includes header length.

Also is it possible to send and receive ISO8583 using EBCDIC format.?

Thanks

Hi!

There are two options that control the use of headers:

useLengthHeader: adds message length header to each message
useStaticHeader=header: adds a static header to each message

Regarding the EBCDIC, could you please provide the actual use cases (sample messages)? What kind of EBCDIC notation is used?

Hi..

I am using Cardlink for host with EBCDIC format support. So I want to generate ISO8583 message with EBCIDIC format.

Thanks

Cool, but could you provide the actual specification or examples of the messages you need to send?

EBCDIC is a kind of outdated character encoding system. That's okay. But if you just encode some sort of ISO-8583 format into EBCDIC, you will get no guarantee it will be understood by the remote system.
