EDI 864 X12 Specification
Data content of the Text Message Transaction Set (864) for use within the context
of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) environment.
The transaction set can
be used to provide users with a capability to electronically move messages,
contracts, explanations, and other one-time communications.
It is the intent of this transaction set to provide electronic communication
(messages) for people, not for computer processing. The use of the transac-tion
set to transmit quasi or unique transaction set standards is discouraged.
The use of the Text Message transaction set demands of the sender certain
detailed information about the recipient. The transaction set's purpose is to
provide communication to the recipient in some human-readable form. The
recipient's network will dictate what capabilities are available for delivery of
the information. It is the responsibility of the sender to obtain this information
and include it in the transmission.
