ediDataSegment. MessageHandle

Returns the handle of the Message that the Data Segment is in.

Syntax:

• <lHandle> = object.MessageHandle

Returns:

A number identifying the Message

Remarks:

Data segments in an X12 message are between the ST and SE segments inclusively; in UN/EDIFACT, they are between the UNH and UNT segments inclusively.  The MessageHandle property is equivalent to the TransactionSetHandle property.

Example:

Dim oSegment As Fredi.ediDataSegment
...

nMessageHandle = oSegment.MessageHandle
nTsHandle = oSegment.TransactionSetHandle
