Multiple loops with the same ID

Occasionally the EDI standard contains different loops with the same loop ID. In the interface files these loops use the suffix _number
to distinguish between them. The number of the loop reflects the order in which it appears in the EDI standard.

The following XML shows the syntax of two different types of loop elements with the same loop ID:

<LOOP_loop ID_1>
  <segment ID>
   <data element reference ID>...</data element reference ID>
   <data element reference ID>...</data element reference ID>
   <data element reference ID>...</data element reference ID>
   ...
  </segment ID>
  ...
</LOOP_loop ID_1>
<LOOP_loop ID_2>
  <segment ID>
   <data element reference ID>...</data element reference ID>
   <data element reference ID>...</data element reference ID>
   <data element reference ID>...</data element reference ID>
   ...
  </segment ID>
  ...
</LOOP_loop ID_2>
...
