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 semantic principles applying to the message are
       intended to facilitate the understanding of the message. 
        
       The Financial Cancellation message is structured in two levels:
       A and B. 
        
       Level A Segment Groups 1, 2, 3 and 6 contains general data
       related to the whole message. 
        
       Level B Segment Groups 4 and 5 contains data identifying the
       message or transaction to be cancelled. 
        
       Where a choice of code or text is given, only the code element
       should be used wherever possible.
