Message syntax

The type tree enforces strict message syntax that is based upon three variable values, <Tag>, <Value>, and <Delimiter>.

The field format is: <Tag>=<Value><Delimiter>. Values for these entities are described as follows:

• <Tag> - any integer with no leading zeros
• = (equal sign) - the separator between Tag and Value.
• <Value> - value that represents the actual content of the field
• <Delimiter> - a non-printing ASCII character that is called the SOH character
