This product supports SEF versions 1.5 and 1.6 when the SEF OTD wizard is used to build custom OTDs. For more information about the SEF OTD wizard, refer to Creating ASC X12 OTDs from SEF Files Using the SEF OTD Wizard.
The SEF OTD wizard does not handle the following information and sections:
In the .SEMREFS section, semantic rules with its type of the “exit routine” are ignored as per SEF specification. An exit routine specifies an external routine, such as a COM-enabled server program supporting OLE automation to run for translators or EDI data analyzers.
The .TEXT sections (including subsections such as .TEXT,SETS, .TEXT,SEGS, .TEXT,COMS, .TEXT,ELMS, and .TEXT,SEGS) are ignored because these sections store information about changes in a standard’s text, such as notes, comments, names, purposes, descriptions, titles, semantic notes, explanations, and definitions.
