Wow! I've been doing EDI for about 10 years now, from developing/programming the transactions to administering the trading partners, and I couldn't tell you what an 862 is, or how it differs to an 830. Or specifically the difference between an X12 and an EDIFACT document. You guys have a way of making someone feel inferior.
How about just asking them to explain what EDI is as if they were talking to someone with little to no experience with computers...... -----Original Message----- From: Patrick Sczypiorski [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 25, 2004 12:01 PM To: Denise Tate; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; R.T.Crowley Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Spam:RE: [EDI-L] Re: Tech Interview questions The 856? That's too easy! Ask them to explain the differnces between the 830 and 862, how they relate to one another and which one preceeds the other. Patrick F.
