Generic fields are used to describe the groups of business data that are common
throughout the messages. A generic field value always starts with a colon (:),
followed by a Qualifier (of format 4!c), followed by zero or more sub-fields. To add a
generic field to the format follow the steps given below.
1. Click the Add New SWIFT Field button
in the toolbar of the External
Format - SWIFT UI. The Create Field dialog appears.
2. Enter the field tag in the Tag combo box and press Enter. The toolbar buttons of
the options and qualifiers table are now enabled.
