HPRIM segments

A segment is a logical grouping of data fields. Each segment is identified by a unique three-character code known as the segment ID.

Segments of a message can be required or optional and can happen only once in a message, or can repeat.

Add or modify fields within specific variants. Select an existing variant or create a new one.

Selecting a segment

The list box in the Defined Segments pane contains every segment defined in the selected variant, alphanumerically sorted.

Note: The standard HPRIM base definition cannot be deleted.
  • For an existing segment, click the segment name, or specify a search string in the search text box at the bottom of the pane. Press Enter or click Find (binoculars).

  • For a new segment, click New, then specify a Segment Number and Segment Name.
