2.24.14.0 BTS field definitions
Definition: This field contains the count of the individual messages contained within the batch.
Definition: This field is a comment field that is not further defined in the HL7 protocol.
Definition: . We encourage new users of this field to use the HL7 2.3 data type of NM and to define it as "repeating." This field contains the batch total. If more than a single batch total exists, this field may berepeated.
This field may be defined as a CM data type for backward compatibility with HL7 2.2 and 2.1 with each total being carried as a separate component. Each component in this case is an NM data type.
