Depends on my audience. To a 'techie' it's a "transaction set" (ANSI) or "message" (EDIFACT); but to a USER, "document" is IMNSHO the perfect term and the one I've used for years. >· I would call what is between one GS segment and the next GE >segment an "EDI Group Document"? Techie: Functional Group. User: a group (or batch) of related documents > What would you call what is between an ISA segment and the next >IEA segment? Techie: Interchange. User: A big batch of documents (they really don't need to know the nuts and bolts, do they?) If you get your users thinking "document" then they "get it" a lot quicker! Michael C.
