Hey Mike - use arrays and the Redim statement. -Paul -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bill Chessman Sent: Tuesday, October 31, 2006 5:49 PM To: EDI-L Subject: RE: [EDI-L] Max Number of Subelements per element?
I, too, get 20 as the current champ. As to the rules, there appear to be no real hard limits. The specifications typically use a 2-digit sequence number which would suggest a limit of 99, but seems to me there's a composite (C770) in EDIFACT (in case you swing both ways) which allows up to 100 components. Again, no hard limits appear to be defined in the rules.

I concur (But I don't have every version of the specs) C001 would be the next in line with 15 possible values. (Actually 5 repeats of a triplet of info).

OK, here's a weird one... Does anyone know what the maximum number of subelements for any one (composite) data element might be? I looked thru ANSI 5 X12.3 (elements), and it looks like C028 is the winner, with 20 (twenty) possible subelements. But I am open to correction because I am thinking 'real hard' about hard-coding this value! Thanks, Michael C. Mattias Tal Systems Inc.
