convertToString is not validating the EDI messsage?

In the Flat File Schema Developer’s Guide, the description of pub.flatFile:convertToString states:

This service does not validate the document.

If you want validation, you’ll need to do so in a separate step.

That’s right. convertToValues is the way to go.
