NSC segment

The NSC segment is used to inform (NMR query response) or announce (NMD unsolicited update) the start-up, shut-down, and/or migration (to a different cpu or file-server/file-system) of a particular application. Usage Notes: Fields 2-9. These are not applicable (“n/a”) when the type of change being requested or reported is start-up or shut-down. If the change is of type "M", at least one of fields 2-5 must be different from its corresponding field in range 6-9.

required kept for older systems, still counted

Count the pipes to find a field, and count the empty ones too: an empty field still holds its place.

This page carries the NSC field table as published and nothing beyond it. The field notes, vendor behaviour, FHIR mapping and parsing guidance that thePID page has are still to be written for NSC.
