8 November: Despite of several rounds of quality checks carried out by TBG4, ATG and ICG with the help of special software and also through manual desk-checks, the following errors still found their way into the D.09A directory publication of GOVCBR. These identified errors can be corrected as follows:
(i) Trigger segments (MEA) at 4310, 7630 and 9470 lines can only be repeated once.
(ii) DTM to be added in line 6350 into SG152 as well as SG153; and COM segment to be added into SG29, SG60 and SG228.
In the D09A publications these segments are hanging without any relation to their respective parent segment groups. These problems will be definitively resolved in the D.09B publication of the UN/EDIFACT directories.

22 October: The UN/CEFACT D.09A UN/EDIFACT Library has now been approved for publication by the ICG. ATTENTION: This new release has introduced a message that required a modification to the “UN/CEFACT RULES FOR PRESENTATION OF STANDARDIZED MESSAGE AND DIRECTORIES DOCUMENTATION”, R1023, to enable its publication. The modification concerns the size of the number of characters needed for section 4.3.1, the segment table. This has now been increased from its initial size of 70 characters to 75 characters. The change may cause problems with programs that extract the information from the message directory (EDMD). R1023 can be downloaded from the following link: http://www.unece.org/cefact/cf_plenary/plenary09/Misc_01.pdf. This document has also been incorporated in the library download package for this release
