W******T did what? It really depends on the loop count. Technically you can loop the REF/RFF segments. As long as you're not reading for the qualifier, and it's valid, it should pass through like a hot knife stabbing a frozen pound of butter. And, after it fails once, it should be an easy change to let it pass through.

They add a second REF/RFF segment within a repeating REF/RFF segment loop which currently contains one mandatory segment as specified in their IG. The recipient does not need to do anything with the new segment. Question: What percentage of the TPs receiving the message with the additional REF/RFF segment would not have to make any changes to their data structure and/or map?
