Chapter 1 EDIFACT Overview : UNA Segment

UNA Segment
The UNA segment defines the service characters used in the transmission. Service characters act as delimiters for the various syntax structures of a message.
You can use only one character as a delimiter for TIBCO BusinessConnect EDI Protocol powered by Instream, EDIFACT protocol.
The following are the service characters:
XML standards do not allow for a comma (,) to be used as a decimal separator. For TIBCO BusinessConnect EDI Protocol powered by Instream this applies to the XML payloads sent for inbound EDIFACT documents.
The UNA segment must be used if the default service characters, specified in Table 2, are not used.
If the default service characters are used, use of the UNA segment is optional. When it is used, the UNA segment is displayed immediately before the interchange header segment.
