See “Notes” section above for Whirlpool usage.
ISA08 / I07 / Interchange Receiver ID / M / ID / 15/15
Identification code published by the receiver of the data. When sending, it is used by the sender as their sending ID, thus other parties sending to them will use this as a receiving ID to route data to them.
See “Notes” section above for Whirlpool usage.
ISA09 / I08 / Interchange Date / M / DT / 6/6
Date of the interchange.
ISA10 / I09 / Interchange Time / M / TM / 4/4
