Terminology

Sequence

Each message type contains zero, one or more sequences. A sequence is a group of related information made up of one or more fields and/or sub-sequences. A sequence may or may not be delimited. For delimiting a sequence use a start indicator and end indicator or start indicator alone.

SubSequence

A subsequence is a sequence nested within another sequence. The fields contained within each subsequence can be either discrete (non-generic) or generic.

Generic Field

A generic field is used to describe groups of business data that are common throughout the messages. It is then made unique by the addition of a qualifier. Generic fields allow for the consistent identification of data in a logical and structured way. Each generic field will always have the same meaning across all sensitive messages.

Non-Generic Field

A non-generic field, unlike a generic field, is used for one purpose only.

Qualifier

A qualifier is one that gives a complete meaning about a generic field. Qualifiers allow the identification of the type of data.
