Eight (8) character GS time is a perfectly valid option in ANSI 4 (valid group times in 003040+ : 4, 6 or 8 characters) >Also, has anyone run into differences between a detail level SAC >segment's definition vs a summary level SAC segment's definition? No, an SAC segment is an SAC segment is an SAC segment, regardless of in which transaction set or what position within a transaction set it appears. (ANSI standard. Valid charge/allowance codes may vary in private implementations). >I am wondering if these are here on purpose Well, the time thing probably IS 'on purpose.' Differences in editing between "header" and "detail" SAC segments probably are not 'on purpose,' unless the editor is in fact performing an edit to comply with a private implementation. >Just wondering if there are any other little nuances to look out for! Oh, there's lots of nuances in ANSI EDI. You don't even hardly have to look very hard for them. However, ANSI ASC X12 is ANSI ASC X12 and all translator/editor products should edit the same data the same way. That's not to say they all DO edit the same way, only that they SHOULD get the same results. Michael C. Mattias Tal Systems Inc. Racine WI [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.talsystems.com ...
