CENSUS Census Request - A Resident Change Notification (10.6)
This is the standard NCPDP SCRIPT 10.6 spec, with 0 loops and 8 segment positions, as OpenEDI JSON, an ediFabric C# template and an ediFabric Native model. To change it for a trading partner, customize it in the EDI Spec Builder.
Use the CENSUS spec in your code
ediFabric .NET
Add the C# template and its common files to your project, or reference the template NuGet package, and read CENSUS files into TSCENSUS objects. See ediFabric .NET.
ediFabric Native
Native supports X12 today, and NCPDP is coming. When it's available, map version 10.6 to this Native model with set_map to parse CENSUS files to JSON from Python, Java, C or C#. See ediFabric Native.
OpenEDI
Select Customize in Spec Builder to copy the spec under your own name, change it for your partner, and parse files against it in EdiNation, ediFabric Native or ediFabric Cloud. Read about OpenEDI.
Generate CENSUS classes in Python, Java, Node.js, Go, Rust or C
The OpenEDI file describes each CENSUS as JSON. To work with CENSUS data as typed objects, generate classes from the OpenEDI file in your language; the root class is TSCENSUS. The classes keep the loops, segments, lengths and code lists, but not the EDI data formats. Read more in Generate a class from OpenEDI.
