Export a SWIFT Message Format Terminology Sequence Each message type contains zero, one or mo re sequences. A sequence is a group of related information made up of one or more fields and/or sub-se quences. A sequence may or may not be delimited. For delimiting a sequence use a start indicator and end indicator or start indicator alone. SubSequence [...]

Custom SWIFT messages Depending on your requi rement you may ha ve to customize the SWIF T messages or make minor modifications to it. One such case is GSCC S WIFT messages. If these customized messages are used often or across the enterprise, you ma y want to make use of the SWIFT message library feature to store the customized SWIFT messages. 1. [...]

3. The exported message will be saved unde r a di rectory by the same name as the version. Once you have exported all the customiz ed messages to this directory, you can make of copy this directory to all D esign er installations as required. 4. Note that the version name wi ll also be i ncluded in the message definition (XML ) as shown below. <[...]

This detail is gen erally not important; but if y ou are manually editing the version (in say messages you already have) i n XML’s re member to update the standard-version tag appropriately. The advantage of the above is that you have the same message library support for your customized SWIFT messages just like standard SWIFT message s. See Also:[...]

Number of lines that range between 1 and ma ximum number possible is present in format A along with format B . Maximum number of lines that is possible is present in format A along with format B . In this format pattern, format A can have multiple lines in its data, which are separated by CRLF. Format A and Format B are also separated by CRLF. In o[...]

Adding Copy of Fields In some SWIFT messages a set of fields need to be treated as single enti ty. For e.g. in common group messages (MTnxx), a copy of the fiel ds that occurred in the original message may occur at the end. The enti re set should be treated as a single field. To support this w e need to a dd a separa te field ‘C opy of Fields’.[...]

From the above diagram it can be seen that the ‘Copy of F ields’ gets added as the last field in the message with the occurrence property. Note: The ‘Copy of Fields’ of fields should be the last field in the message. It should be a top-level fi eld. It should not be n ested within a sequence.
