Title: Harbinger TLE Data Mappers wanted

Randy,

 

I think the IFT stands for "International Forwarding and Transport".  All the IFT messages are generally based on a single framework design that used to be distributed as part of the EDIFACT directories as IFTMFR (International forwarding and transport message framework), but was subsequently dropped as it was not actually intended to be a usable message.  I think the last directory that included IFTMFR was EDIFACT 93.2 (the last directory issued before the change in naming convention to the current method).

 

Best regards,

This may be a stupid question, but here goes anyway. What does the "IFT" stand for in message names like the "IFTSTA"(Status message) or "IFTMIN"(instruction message)?

Does it have a meaning or is it simply a "name" they gave it?

Thanks,
