Re: what is meaning of ** in edi data stream

EDI is kind of interesting. A lot of noise when I search the web for EDI
specs. Like every site I clicked on is looking to sell something.

Is there a site from which I can download the official EDI spec?  Two I am
working with now are the 945 and 846.

And what is the great value of an EDI translator?  I was able to parse the
846 ( inventory snapshot ) pretty quickly with RPG procedures. I can see
using a translator when sending a properly formatted document.

Steve -

Semantically, according the EDI X12 standard, no.
W06 is the /segment/ name.  W0601, W0602, etc. are the /elements/ within
the
W06 segment.
So, using the correct terminology, in this case the W0605 element is
missing
from the segment.

 I see.
 There is a segment 01, 02, 03, 04 and 06 in a 945 W06.
 The 05 segment is missing.
