Tag Tab

The following list describes the properties on the Tag Tab for the EDI Segment Properties, CHIPS Field Properties, and FEDWIRE Field Properties dialog box:

Tag

Segment identification code tag, as defined by the standards. For example, the translator recognizes an EDI segment as:

<TAG>[Delimiter]<DATA>[Delimiter]<DATA>.<DATA>[Segment 
Terminator]

The segment tag for each segment enables the translator to recognize that segment. Use the segment tag only if you specified Wildcard under Special Properties, to define a segment that the translator will recognize. This tag enables you to create loops that contains wildcard segments (segments that are not processed) and is used as a breaking point for the translator (to break out of the loop to start processing again). This is useful during interchange breaking, when you want to process the beginning and end of a file, but not the middle.
