EDI relies on transaction code sets. These codes represent longer explanations and descriptions.
At the onset of EDI one of the main design ideas was to make the EDI files as short as possible and to allow different languages to use the same descriptions by reducing long verbose explanations to 2-3 byte long codes. Computer storage was incredibly expensive and making any file larger than it absolutely had to was considered wasteful.
The 999 Master's code sets are stored in the file AckCodesets.xml in the Configuration subdirectory:
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\HIPAAsuite\HIPAA 999 Master\Configuration\
Windows 7, Vista: C:\ProgramData\HIPAAsuite\HIPAA 999 Master\Configuration\
The Configuration folder in Windows 7
Tip: The folder is hidden.
