0.    INTRODUCTION

       This specification provides the definition of the Job
       information demand message (JINFDE) to be used in Electronic
       Data Interchange (EDI) between trading partners involved in
       administration, commerce and transport.

1.    SCOPE

1.1   Functional Definition

       A message sent by a governmental agency to an employer in
       response to a work grant request. This message asks for
       specific additional information (e.g. visa) for further
       processing of the work grant request.

1.2   Field of Application

       The Job information demand message may be used for both
       national and international applications. It is based on
       universal practice related to administration, commerce and
       transport, and is not dependent on the type of business or
       industry.

1.3   Principles

       The message is designed to request additional information about
       a person and/or a job (e.g. specific documents) for further
       processing of a work grant or permit request.
       
       A Job Information Demand Message is transmitted from a
       governmental agency to an employer.
       
       A Job Information Demand Message may contain detailed
       information about a person and/or the required missing
       documents.

4.    MESSAGE DEFINITION

4.1   Data Segment Clarification

       This section should be read in conjunction with 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.

4.1.1  Header section

       Information to be provided in the Header section:

0010   UNH, Message header

       document must contain the following data in segment UNH,
       composite S009:

       Data element  0065 JINFDE
                     0052 D
                     0054 99A

0020   BGM, Beginning of message
