No. X12 is an ANSI accredited standards committee. (And it's X12, not X.12). DISA has no formal relationship with ANSI, per se, and only relates to ANSI on behalf of X12 and it's other client organizations. >Data Interchange Standards Association.

Also serves as the secretariat for the Pan American EDIFACT Board. Old information, and no longer correct. The Pan American EDIFACT Board no longer exists. >Data Interchange Standards Association - in the U.S., the standards body >that defines EDI standards. In Europe it is UN/EDIFACT. Again, incorrect. X12 defines EDI standards in the U.S. This is done internationally (not just in Europe) by UN/CEFACT, who maintains the UN/EDIFACT standard. --------------------------------------------------------------- Michael C.
