MFQ: Master files query

This page lists the structures and trigger events MFQ defines, taken from the standard. The written commentary that theADT page carries has not been written for MFQ.

Recognising MFQ messages

MFQ announces itself in MSH-9 like this:

MSH-9MFQ^M01^MFQ_M01
  1. MSH-9.1MFQmessage code: what kind of message this is
  2. MSH-9.2M01trigger event: what happened in the real world: master file notification
  3. MSH-9.3MFQ_M01message structure: which segments to expect, and in what order

How to use these specifications explains MSH-9 in full, with a worked example.
