Close....the interchange acknowledgement (TA1 segment) is rarely used and
when it is it is generally used only to convey syntactic acceptance of
control structures and does not go to the detail syntax of included
transaction sets.
The "largest" unit handled by the 997 is the functional group. So the LEAST
one should expect is one (1) 997 for each functional group transmitted.
And for this specific example... sending the transaction-set level
acknowledgment segments only for TSs with errors and leaving the "OK" TSs to
be acknowledged as part of the functional group seems.... quite reasonable.
FWIW, this particular setup (detailed 997 only on errors) is a standard
option in the Emanio Trading Partner product.
