Local fix

• Issue 1 : We found that the issue is the extended rule of the
  SWIFT_2016_3** and SWIFT_2016_6**. The problem with rule C98
  being improperly thrown is a bug that existed in 2015 but the
  customer test data is revealing it now in the 2016 maps.
  The messages affected by this issue are the following MT's:
  300, 305, 306, 320, 330, 340, 341, 360, 361, 600, 601, 620.
  Issue 2 : We have fixed this issue by applying changes to the
  properties file as below.
  1) Edit translator_swift_2016.properties file under properties
  folder of SI installation directory
  2) Look for these entries..
  swiftField.17Y.1.1.300='N','Y':T36
  swiftField.17Y.1.1.305='N','Y':T36
  swiftField.17Y.1.1.306='N','Y':T36
  swiftField.17Y.1.1.340='N','Y':T36
  swiftField.17Y.1.1.341='N','Y':T36
  swiftField.17Y.1.1.360='N','Y':T36
  swiftField.17Y.1.1.361='N','Y':T36
  swiftField.17Y.1.1.600='N','Y':T36
  swiftField.17Y.1.1.601='N','Y':T36
  swiftField.17Y.1.1.*='N','Y':T36
  3) Change them to below..
  swiftField.17Y.1.1.300='F','N':T36
  swiftField.17Y.1.1.305='F','N':T36
  swiftField.17Y.1.1.306='F','N':T36
  swiftField.17Y.1.1.340='F','N':T36
  swiftField.17Y.1.1.341='F','N':T36
  swiftField.17Y.1.1.360='F','N':T36
  swiftField.17Y.1.1.361='F','N':T36
  swiftField.17Y.1.1.600='F','N':T36
  swiftField.17Y.1.1.601='F','N':T36
  swiftField.17Y.1.1.*='F','N':T36
  4) Save this file
  5) Restart SI
