Brian, indeed we did. I was the lucky one that drew the straw to write the
draft, it is part of version 4 of 9735 as part 8, called "Associated data in
EDI".
Part 8 is a new part, which has been added to the syntax rules. It provides an
optional capability of associating a package of data, which contains an object
bounded by EDIFACT service segments as envelopes. The option permits the
transfer within an UN/EDIFACT interchange of data which can be created by other
applications, such as STEP (Standard for The Exchange of Product model data),
CAD (Computer Aided Design), etc., and which cannot be carried by means of an
UN/EDIFACT message.
If you need a copy of the standard, let me know.
Regards,
Klaus
