RE: A Supremely Silly Question...
Jon,
The reference you're looking for is page 4 of X12.6 (version 4010). See
section 3.5.1.1 (Numeric) which is the first portion of the larger
section 3.5.1 (Data Element Types). In this section is the following
information: "The value of a numeric data element includes an implied
decimal point. It is used when the position of the decimal point within
the data is permanently fixed and is not to be transmitted with the
data."
There is an example of representing the number -123.4 in a numeric (N2)
element. It would look as follows: -12340 (notice the padded zero
because there are two decimal places).
Hope that helps.
Best regards,

Subject: [EDI-L] A Supremely Silly Question...
Hi everyone,
I know this is a silly question, but I have a trading partner who is
requesting decimal points in X12 004010 in the TDS01 and the SAC05
elements.
My question is this:
When an element is defined as N2, it means no decimal points right?
I know this is a silly question, but not having a printed version of
the 4010 spec, I need to verify it. I am sure of the answer, but I
need to give them irrefutable evidence of it. Apparently 15 years of
EDI experience isn't good enough for them.
Does anyone have the entire 4010 spec printed (or better yet the
book with the 4010 spec), and if so can you refer me to the page
where it defines the data types so I can pass this info on to my
trading partner?
Thanks,
Jon
