Re: Inovis TLE 6.0 Service Pack 3 - Review
Subelement separators are starting to be used in X12. The 4030 and above
REF segment has it, as do some segments in some health care transaction
sets. Allowing the same character to be used for both the element
separator and subelement separator really is a bug, although the upgrade
should have "grandfathered" trading partners already doing it.
