Partner dependent syntax

For outgoing messages it is possible to specify a partner dependent syntax.
This is especially useful for x12 and edifact, for setting envelope values and partner specific separators.
These parameters override the settings in the message grammar; you only need to specify the partner-specific parameters.
Note: no need to set partner specific separators for incoming messages; bots will figure this out by itself.
To set partner specific syntax parameters, create according to editype used:

• bots/usersys/partners/x12/partnerid.py
• bots/usersys/partners/edifact/partnerid.py

Example file with partner specific setting (x12):

syntax = {
'ISA05'                  : 'XX',    #use different communication qualifier for sender
'ISA07'                  : 'ZZ',    #use different communication qualifier for receiver
'field_sep'              : '|',     #use different field separator
}

Example file with partner specific setting (edifact):

syntax = {
'merge':False,
'forceUNA':True,
'UNB.S002.0007':'ZZ',        # partner qualifier
'UNB.S003.0007':'ZZ',        # partner qualifier
}

Plugin

Plugin 'demo_partnerdependent' at the bots sourceforge site demonstrates partner dependent syntax.
