Ocean and Rail Participants,



A change has been created (PR 48718) to address an issue when ACE returns a malformed or incomplete X12 355 message in response to a trade message containing a “NULL” value. Per the Implementation Guidelines, “NULL” is not an allowable value. With the implementation of PR 48718, ACE will be returning a Sea and Rail X12 355 message that is consistent with how we currently handle NON-NULL invalid characters. This change is scheduled to be deployed on 1/31/2015 (DS 65 PROD DEPLOYMENT)
