How YOU decided to code BSN01 depends on the meaning YOU want to convey...... and perhaps more significantly, what your PARTNER thinks those codes - when transmitted - mean. Me, I'd lobby the partner really, really hard for this understanding, on the theory the ANSI people really meant what they said when creating the standard: 00 - this the original transmission of the ASN with the ID in BSN02 01- this is a cancellation of the previously-sent ASN with the ID in BSN02 05- this is a change to the previously-sent ASN with the ID in BSN02 07 - this is a duplicate of the previously-sent ASN with the ID in BSN02 etc, etc, etc Assuming you and your partner agree on what BSN01 means, and agree that you will start sending either as a matter of course or 'on request' any changes, cancellations or duplicates of already-transmitted ASNs, well, you can kiss your hard-coding of BSN01 in a single map [BIG HINT HERE] goodbye.
