BEA SWIFT Adapter - Manual (Page 36)

Specification
(Sub-Field1) (Sub-Field2) (Sub-Field2)
In this format pattern, the specification for subfields B and C are the same. ie,
Sub-Field2. If this pattern is entered, only one instance of Sub-Field2 will be
created, though the format indicates 3 subfields, which is not correct. In order to
avoid this, the specification of the subfields should be made distinct. (Here, the
specification for subfields B and C). This is shown in the following example.
Example
Field 69a OPTION A
Format :4!c//8!n/8!n
Specification (Qualifier)(Date)(Date)
Format in Designer :4!c//8!n/8!n
Specification in
Designer
(Qualifier)(Start Date)(End Date)
Field 69a present in message format MT564 refers to Period. Its two subfield
specifications Date are changed to imply their meaning as Start Date and End Date.
