An Advanced Search on GLN number in google brings up some stuff.
Is this the same thing as the SAN number? This is years ago, but I seem
to recall I had to send off to some organization or other to obtain what
ours was and I think that we use that.

Our SAN number seems to be put into note 3- One of our EDI vendor Note3
fields looks like this:

This 7 digit number at 0008 and 1021 gets padded out by the system as
far as I can see into the header to the required 14 digits for our "GLN"
by adding 0000001 to the front. This makes up the first 14 digits of the
header.
If you have a vendor SAN we seem to have that in the Note2 field like
this:
$0064=0058955
I reckon you could shove in any old dummy number but I may be wrong!
Sorry to be so non-technical.
