Can somebody help me to find out how to control the UNB segment? My
specs want me to send something like
UNB+UNOC:3+xxxxxxxxxxxxx:52+Lieferant-DE:52+041214:1517+1+PSWD’
.. and I don't succeed on setting S001.0001 to "UNOC". I already tried
different charset settings along the route and
also setting  out.ta_info['charset'] = "UNOC" in my mapping script.-
still getting UNOA on output. I don't know yet if I'll need the
password field in S005.0022 or if there will be a need for overriding
the reference but it would be good to known about these field too...

I'm very new to bots so probably I overlooked something in the docs...

csv->edi, based on csvdemo_csv2edi)

this is quite easy.
you have to set the right syntax option.
this is done in bots/usersys/grammars/edifact/edifactsyntax3.py
here you can use syntax options for all partners;
in this case set:
        'charset':  'UNOC'
bots will than use UNOC characterset, and use UNA-segment.
more fields in envelope work this way; in documentation and grammar.py
is a list of these settings.

this can also be done on a per-partner base.

Many thanks for the quick reply, setting the charset now works.
For the password field in S005.0022, I would also have to
modify envelope.py (similar to the handling of 'testindicator'),
right?
...and it seems that it's not possible now to control these fields
from
the translation script as this would require a modification to the db-
table
where the envelope fields are stored along the route, right?

best regards
Thomas
