Introductory 

Notes

Add DLMS note 5e:

e. Repetition of data (using multiple iterations or loops) which is not 

compatible with existing DLSS capability. Although supported by the use of 

the ANSI X12 standard, such data is not compatible with DLSS/DLMS 

conversion and may not be supported by the recipient's automated processing 

system. Components must coordinate implementation of enhanced capability 

with DLMSO prior to use.

Add new 

clarification 

restricting use of 

ANSI functionality 

for data repetition.

perpetuate/populate the DLSS Supplemented Address (SUPAAD) field. 

During this time, field size is restricted to 6 positions; see introductory DLMS

a DLMS enhancement;see introductory DLMS note 5a.

within the supplement data field will be streamlined. Activity address

data previously contained in the SUPAAD will be reflected exclusively in the 

N1 segment. Future streamlined data; see introductory DLMS note 5c.
