13. The format now looks correct as below. Click OK.
Use of brackets ( ) around a set of (two or more) formats indicates that they should
be treated as a single unit. Consider the format:4!c(//4!a2!a2!c[3!c]). The ( )
brackets separates :4!c from the rest, thus implying only two sub-fields with
formats 4!c and //4!a2!a2!c[3!c]. If the brackets were missed, the format
//4!a2!a2!c[3!c] would not apply for a single sub-field BIC/BEI as in the figure.
Instead it would imply four sub-fields with formats 4!a, 2!a, 2!c and 3!c.
