Data Interchange (EDI) between trading partners involved in
administration, commerce and transport.
1. SCOPE

a person and/or a job (e.g. specific documents) for further
processing of a work grant or permit request.

4. MESSAGE DEFINITION
4.1 Data Segment Clarification
This section should be read in conjunction with the Branching
Diagram and the Segment Table which indicate mandatory,
conditional and repeating requirements.
The following guidelines and principles apply to the whole
message and are intended to facilitate the understanding and
implementation of the message:
All specified dates and times should be in the format 'yymmdd'
or 'hhmm' unless all parties involved in the transaction agree
that there is a functional requirement for an alternative
format. Periods should be specified as whole numbers
representing the required period as indicated in the format
qualifier (weeks, months, etc.)
Where a choice of code or text is given only the code element
should be used wherever possible.
Conditional data that is not required in the message should not
be included.
Care must be taken that the segment qualifier in dependent
segments does not conflict with the segment qualifier of the
trigger segment of a group.

0010 UNH, Message header
A service segment starting and uniquely identifying a message.
