RE: Quantity Element in EDIFACT Version D99B - Bottom line

So I wonder just, what the point is, in having numeric type elements and
components defined in the standards, since any numeric value can have
signs, decimal, exponential factors and whatever else to make it become
an alphanumeric field?

I believe your analysis is dead on the money. I think I am just tired
today.
Hence, my continual rambling. I am currently trying to get my head
around
converting EDI docs into an OODB. We have a team here that is strongly
pushing this scenario. After a couple of days of rastlin' the idea. I
still
cannot determine if it is a good idea or a bad one.
P.S. Not a pure OO data structure. It's more of a hybrid XML/O-O thing
that
someone here came up with to perform EAI. They've though of the theory.
I
have to turn it into code.

Au contraire, mon ami; c'est Good Thing!
This shows the younger generation is thinking about other ways to get
things
done. Better this than a bunch of automatons mired in a rut, merely
looking
for
the correct pointy-clicky-dragee-droppee-touchy-feely icon upon which to
click.
(It also makes us "ol' timers" feel needed, wanted and appreciated).
