    Are empty segments valid (segments with no defined elements in use)?

      As outlined in the title, I'm curious if there is ever a scenario in which case a segment would be defined with no elements in use (essentially an empty segment).

      Thanks in advance for any insight!

        @rob The spec say empty segments are not valid. However, I have seen trading partners send empty segments and not be able to adjust their software to stop sending them.

            @rob You might do well to use a trim function to remove the 'dead space' rather than ask your partners to do so, as Ross mentioned... some partners are unable to remove them
