Example Batch

The following example is a request batch with three G1 segments, each with one claim.

1	Batches always start with a 00 Transaction Set Header record. The control number is in bold.
2	The T is the transmission type and indicates that the batch contains transactions (requests) rather than responses.
3	Start of the first G1 record. Notice the B1, indicating that these will be Billing transactions.
4	Start of the next G1 record.
5	Start of the 99 record, the trailer record. The control number is in bold and matches the one in the 00 record. The last value in the 99 record is a count. It is 5 here: one 00 record, three G1 records, and one 99 record.

Anatomy of a G1

1	The GI tag is immediately followed by the fixed-length elements in the Request Header Segment (QH in TIBCO Foresight products) or the Response Header Segment (RH in TIBCO Foresight products). This is underlined in the example. Each segment ends with a segment terminator hex 1E, which displays as a hyphen in this example.
2	The mandatory 04 segment is next. Like all detail segments, it is preceded with AM. Trailing spaces are optional and are shown in this example. Each element, including each segment tag, begins with a hex ‘1C’. These display as boxes in the example above.
3	The conditional 01 segment is omitted in this example. The 07 segment is next and begins the claim. This claim includes the 11 and 03 segments.
