If the standard doesn't say MSG (or any given segment for that matter), then the segment does not float. Seems to me the design guidelines for X12 standards used to state that only NTE segments would be allowed to float. Over the years I understand they've been trying real hard to eliminate the concept of floating altogether.

I am currently working with a tool that has to be explicitly updated to handle "floating" segments. I m aware of the convention for floating NTE in some older versions, but, in 4010 does MSG float? The resources at my disposal seem to indicate that MSG does not float. I can't find any thing conclusive in X12.6 The implementation guide doesn't seem to indicate that it floats. What's the bottom line? Thanks, Anthony .
