The following fields are contained in the Add X12 Trading/Application Partner In Internal Folder X12 window, with the ISA Options tab view displayed:

Field	Description
Interchange Control Version ID	Select the version of the EDI standard that covers the interchange control segments. A default value of 00305 is provided. This field corresponds to ANSI ASC X12 data element I11. You can add other versions using the X12 Standards Maintenance utility.
Interchange Standards ID or Repetition Character	This field takes on two meanings, depending upon the value selected in the Interchange Control Version ID field. If the value in the Interchange Control Version ID field is less than 00402, this field is called the Interchange Standards ID field. If the value is equal to, or greater than 00402, then it changes to become the Repetition Character field. Both field types are optional: the default value is "^" (caret Hex 5E) if the field denotes the Repetition Character; the default value is "U" for the Interchange Standards ID. Note The dual meaning of this field resulted when the X12 committee stopped using the Interchange Standards ID and replaced it with the Repetition Character starting with Interchange Control version 00402.
Separators	Element - Select the delimiter used to separate data elements within a segment. A default value of * (asterisk) is provided. Sub Element - Select the delimiter used to separate component data elements within a composite data structure. A default value of : (colon) is provided. The value of this separator must be different than that of the element separator and segment terminator. This field corresponds to ANSI ASC X12 data element I15. Segment Terminator - Select the character used to terminate a segment. A default value of line feed is provided. You can add other separators to these lists using the X12 Standards Maintenance utility. The Separators delimiters provided as the Element, Sub Element, and Segment Terminator are used when generating outbound e-commerce data, including functional acknowledgements.
