UCI Interchange response

To identify the subject interchange, to indicate interchange receipt, to indicate acknowledgement or rejection (action taken) of the UNA, UNB and UNZ segments, and to identify any error related to these segments. It can also identify errors related to the USA, USC, USD, USH, USR, UST, or USU security segments when they appear at the interchange level. Depending on the action code, it may also indicate the action taken on the groups, messages, and packages within that interchange.

The numerical count position of a specific security segment that is within the actual received security header/trailer segment group pair, identified by its security reference number. The numbering starts with, and includes, the USH segment as segment number 1. To identify a security segment that contains an error, this is the numerical count position of that security segment. To report that a security segment is missing, this is the numerical count position of the last security segment that was processed before the position where the missing security segment was expected to be. A missing security segment group is denoted by identifying the first segment in the security segment group as missing.
