SetAttributeGroup

The SetAttributeGroup defines a common set of attributes pertaining to any data set. The attributes are qualified, so that they will be easily distinguished from attributes that are specific to the data structure. Note that many of these attributes are duplications of fields available in the header of the data messages. The reason for this is to allow the header values to be overridden at the data set level when a message contains more than one data set. If an attribute here does not have a value, then the value from the header is applied to the data set.
