Are you looking for the EDI standard for the Garment Industry? X12/EDIFACT

standards? You might want to start with www.disa.org and then get more

detailed with the industry you are wanting to target. There's also a good

mail-list (EDI-L) at http://www.mail-archive.com/edi-l%40listserv.ucop.edu/

for the archives.

Are you wanting to create a Foxpro application to translate/map/app

integrate the EDI? You'll want to get hold of the X12 and/or EDIFACT

document standards (see DISA above) and probably get some commercial

translators/mappers to see how they work. It's not really as big of a deal

as most 'EDI professionals' and consultants will have you believe to make

your own EDI translators/mappers/app integration applications in Foxpro. I

made my first EDI system from Foxpro in 2 months when I was told by

everybody (in the EDI industry) I could never do it and even thought it

would take about a year myself.

Foxpro is a great tool for this type of application. By the way, I provide

programming consultation and training specifically for doing EDI with

Foxpro. Contact me by private email if you are interested.
