Creating Z segments

[ben sellens]

I am trying to create a custom (Z) segment to carry additional information within and ADT_A01 Message but dont seem to be able to get anywhere

ADT_A01 message = new ADT_A01();

        message.addNonstandardSegment("ZRX");

        this doesnt appear to have any effect on the message object??

Z-Segments are handled using a custom model class factory:

public class CustomFactory : IModelClassFactory
{
     //define the new  factory for model class lookup
}
//then define the class for ZRX ,
public class ZRX : AbstractSegment
{
       public ZRX():base(new ADT_A01(), new CustomFactory()) { }
 }
 ADT_A01 adt  = new ADT_A01( new CustomFactory());
adt.AddNonStandardSegment("ZRX");
