Special Consideration for ^FD when Using ^BD
The ^FD statement is divided into two parts: a High Priority Message(hpm) and a Low
Priority Message(lpm). There are two types of High Priority Messages. One is for a
U.S.Stype Postal Code; the other is for a Non-U.S.Style Postal Code. The syntax for either
or these High Priority Messages must be exactly as shown or an error message will be
generated.
Format:^FD<hpm><lpm>
Parameters:
<hpm> = high priority message(only applicable in Modes 2 and 3)
Accepted Values: 0 through 9,excepte where noted.

<hpm> = aaabbbcccccddd
aaa = three-digit class of service

entered(0000).
