Configuring an LDL segment

A segment is a logical grouping of data fields. Each segment is identified by a unique name.

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

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

Note: The standard LDL base definition cannot be deleted.
