You thought correctly. Your partner's request to use specific control number values in the envelopes is quite unreasonable and demonstrates a lack of even the barest understanding of Electronic Data Interchange. > Another general question: > Is the ISA control number still "meaningful" if TP exchange messages directly > via FTP without going through a VAN ? How important > is the GS control number in this case? Both the interchange and functional group numbers are important regardless of communucations medium; how else are you going to check for duplicates? Or if you are even a bit advanced, something you MISSED? Michael C. Mattias Tal Systems Inc. Racine WI [email protected] ------------------------------------ ...
