PK56228: RTRN GROUP RANGE IS DIFFERENT FROM THE SWIFT STANDARS HANDBOOK

APAR status

• Closed as documentation error.

Error description

• The range of the group is different from the SWIFT Handbook.
  The range of the group RTRN is "0:1" though the qualifier RTRN
  is defined as "R" in the SWIFT Handbook.
  
  In essence our type trees are not correct within the SWIFT pack
  provided by IBM.
  
  .
     Message Type  MT542 and MT543
     Block         E
     Tag           22F
     Qualifier     RTRN
  
  SWIFT SR2007 TypeTree (Pack for swift4.2.1_81)
  

Local fix

• WTXCQ - WTX00003167
  RN / RN
  The range for RTRN in Sequence E, tag 22F, has been changed from
  (0:1) to (s) and can now repeat for MT542 and MT543.
  

Problem summary

• Of the two issues reported, one is a defect and one is not.
  
  The first issue, the different order of qualifiers within a
  group, is not a defect.  These qualifiers are in an unordered
  group.  An unordered group has one or more components that can
  appear in the data stream in any order.  They allow many SWIFT
  message types to be defined in a more natural way.  When a group
  is defined as Unordered, any component can appear in the data
  stream.
  
  The second issue, the range of the RTRN qualifier being
  different from the SWIFT Handbook, is a valid defect.  The range
  for RTRN in Sequence E, tag 22F, has been changed from (0:1) to
  (s) and can now repeat for MT542 and MT543.
