There are correct and proper terms for these constructs, as specified in the ASC X12.6 Control Structure as follows:
The ST/SE: A Transaction Set The GS/GE: A Functional Group ISA/IEA: An Interchange Dont see a need to give them another label that is neither common, well understood, or anything else that is not already provided in the ASC X12 Standard itself. Rachel Foerster 847-872-8070 From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Rich Silva Sent: Wednesday, September 28, 2011 5:23 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [EDI-L] Interesting (at least to me) terminology question... (All ANSI-X12 comments here) We all know that EDI documents are made up of Segments which are collections of elements But, when talking about these things What would you call: · I would call what is between one ST segment and the next SE segment an EDI Document. Is there a better, more specific term (given the next questions) · I would call what is between one GS segment and the next GE segment an EDI Group Document? · What would you call what is between an ISA segment and the next IEA segment?
