The draft Data Element Dictionary can be found at http://www.x12.org/x12org/subcommittees/dev/pdf/V5_x123.pdf It's free. It's downloadable and the other documents are there too. The link is on our links page at: http://www.spe-edi.com/links.html#Standard Look for X12 draft v5 While I agree with Mike about having specific Implementation Guides, the file can be very useful when the IG is missing the explanations and is using an obscure value. In addition, it can be useful when creating your own IG. Nothing livens up a party more than being able to say, "Did you know there were over 13 pages for Unit of Measure Code, Element 335 in the X12 EDI Standard?. Everything from 01 Actual Pounds to everyone's favorite ZZ Mutually Defined." Earl Wertheimer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.spe-edi.com .
