Oh, So this tells the VAN to send the TA1 segment, Correct?

  Gina,

  In the dim dark days of 300 baud modems, some people feared that an 
interchange may not make it through the phone lines.

  In an effort to be absolutl sure that the VAN got the entire interchange 
before the phone went dead, the ISA14 was born.

  The VAN would create a TA, a Transaction Acknowledgement, indicating that 
they got the entire ISA.  

  In these days of emails and 100MB direct connects, it seems rather quaint, 
but since some people are still using Morse Code for EDI (just a joke) it is 
still there, and likely will be during the Y10K cirsis in about 8 thousand 
years.

    Hello Group
    Can someone please explain what the ISA-14 is used for exactly?
    The standards say '0' for No Interchange Acknowledgement Requested and '1'
    for Interchange Acknowledgement Requested (TA1).
    All ISA-14 elements that I have seen always had a value of '0' and a 997
    acknowledgement was still sent back.
    Is this something other than a 997?
    Thank you for any insight.
