I wonder if your post may fall into the category described by [Describe the goal, not the step](http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#goal) where you’re describing a particular path you’re pursuing but it may be the wrong path. Can you explain the process you’re trying to implement? Like “I need to send an EDI X12 850 to a partner over FTP. What’s the best way to create the 850?” With the high-level goal, we’ll be better able to suggest a correct course of action. ---

The EDI module documentation describes the steps to follow for processing EDI documents. You’ll want to decide whether or not to use Trading Networks (TN). TN can help make processing EDI documents much easier. I assume you’re creating an HTML page for viewing purposes? You’re on the right track with the value tag. Once you’ve converted the EDI string into an IS document, you’ll use the appropriate field names within the value tags. ---
