Proprietary Formats
Any kind of proprietary format, ASCII or binary based, is supported. The fields comprising the structure can be of the following types:
Integer types (int, bigint, byte, short, long)
Float types (float, double)
Raw data – bytearray
BCD encoded (bcd; read from left or right)
ASCII or EBCDIC
Fields can have size specifications (static or dynamic), or be defined to be separated by a specific character. Field separators can be based on any character, HEX or ASCII. Additionally, UDRs can contain other UDRs as well as lists of primitive or composite types, recursively.
