John, I understand this and am with you on this. But something which is pricking my thots for preparation of test data is... About 'Not Used' property, Not the 'required' property. Required property I have understood fine. A segment is present in the X-12N. This segment has 5 elements. One of the element of the segment say number 3 is optional. The optional property of element is changed to Required when a certain Condition is satisfied. All great . Now referring to the IG quote given below in teh mail, Does this element become "not used" instead of optional if the certain condition is false in the X12N data stream. Certain condition in the above context can be maped to an example of say "patient is female" condition. Reading teh IG I arrive at the conclusion that yes it does become Not used. I will assume that for teh moment till we hit upon an otherwise conclusion. Mousami. --- John Holland <jo...@zo...> wrote: > Mousami, > > An element cannot exist without its enclosing > segment.
