Property | Type | Meaning |
---|---|---|
Data Element Separation | Enumerated type | Specify the method used to separate the data elements
within the type. Select one of the following values:
|
Group Indicator | String | Specify the value of a special character or string that precedes the data belonging to a group or complex type within the bit stream. |
Group Terminator | String | Specify the value of a special character or string that terminates data belonging to a group or a complex type within the bit stream. |
Delimiter | String | Specify the value of a special character or string that
specifies the delimiter used between data elements. This property applies only to the delimited Data Element Separation methods (Tagged Delimited, All Elements Delimited, and Variable Elements Delimited). |
Suppress Absent Element Delimiters | Enumerated type | Use this property to select if you want delimiters to
be suppressed for elements that are missing within a message. Select from:
|
Observe Element Length | Check box | Applicable when Data
Element Separation is All
Elements Delimited and tells the TDS parser to take any Length property of child elements or
attributes into account. The default value depends on the setting of the Messaging Standard property (at the message
set level) and Data Element Separation properties.
|
Tag Data Separator | Button and String | Specify the value of a special character or string that
separates the Tag from the data. The Tag
Data Separator and Length
of Tag properties are mutually exclusive. If you set the property Tag Data Separator, it overrides Length of Tag. This property applies only to the tagged Data Element Separation methods (Tagged Delimited, Tagged Fixed Length, and Tagged Encoded Length). |
Length of Tag | Integer | Specify the length of a tag value. When the message
is parsed, this allows tags to be extracted from the bit stream if the Tag Data Separator property is not set. The Tag Data Separator and Length of Tag properties are mutually exclusive. If you set the property Tag Data Separator, it overrides this value. This property applies only to the tagged Data Element Separation methods (Tagged Delimited, Tagged Fixed Length, and Tagged Encoded Length). |
Length of Encoded Length | Integer | Specifies the number of characters (not bytes) after
a tag that are used for the length field. Enter a value from 0 to 2147483647. You must set this property if you have set Data Element Separation property to Tagged Encoded Length; it is not valid otherwise. The actual number of data characters parsed also depends on the value of the Extra Chars in Encoded Length property. |
Extra Chars in Encoded Length | Integer | (Only valid if the Data
Element Separation method is set to Tagged
Encoded Length.) Specifies the number of extra characters included
in the value found in the length field. (For example, the value in the length
might include the size of the length field itself as well as the size of the
data field, or it might be the total size of the tag, length, and data fields.) Enter a value from 0 to 2147483647. The parser subtracts this number from the number found in the length field to get the number of data characters that follow the length field. You must set this property if you have set Data Element Separation property to Tagged Encoded Length and the actual number of data characters is less than the value found in the length field. |
Repeating Element Delimiter | String | Specify the delimiter that is to be used between repeating
elements. This delimiter is used only when the element repeats and the Data Element Separation of the parent group or complex type is set to All Elements Delimited or Variable Length Elements Delimited. A default value is provided if the above conditions are true as follows:
If none of the above rules are met, a default is not applied. |
Length Reference | Enumerated type | Specify the identifier of a sibling Integer object,
the value of which dictates the length of the object in question. The sibling
object must be defined before the current object within the message structure.
For information about reordering elements, see Reordering objects. |
Data Pattern | String | Specify the regular expression that is to be used by the parser to identify the data in the message to be assigned to the object. This property is used when the Data Element Separation method has been set to Use Data Pattern in the complex type. See Regular expression syntax for further details. |
