Last updated Friday, 21 July 2017The Tagged/Delimited String Format (TDS) uses mnemonics for a number of properties for a message set, complex type, or both.
| Mnemonic string | Meaning | Default value | Associated property |
|---|---|---|---|
| <EDIFACT_CS> | Component separator in EDIFACT | : | Message set and complex type or group, Delimiter |
| <EDIFACT_DEC_NOTATION> | Decimal notation in EDIFACT | . | Message set, Decimal Point |
| <EDIFACT_DS> | Data element separator in EDIFACT | + | Message set and complex type or group, Delimiter |
| <EDIFACT_ESC_CHAR> | Escape character in EDIFACT | ? | Message set, Escape Character |
| <EDIFACT_GROUP_TERM> | Tag terminator in EDIFACT | ' | Message set, Group Terminator |
| <EDIFACT_TAGDATA_SEP> | Tag data separator in EDIFACT This is overridden with the same value as that which overrides <EDIFACT_DS> |
+ | Message set and complex type or group, Tag Data Separator |
| <HL7_CS> | Component separator in HL7 | ^ | Message set and complex type or group, Delimiter |
| <HL7_FS> | Data element separator in HL7 | | | Message set and complex type or group, Delimiter |
| <HL7_RS> | Repeating element delimiter in HL7 | ~ | Local element and element reference, Repeating Element Delimiter |
| <HL7_SCS> | Sub-component separator in HL7 | & | Message set and complex type or group, Delimiter |
| <X12_CS> | Component separator for X12 | : | Message set and complex type or group, Delimiter |
| <X12_DS> | Data element separator for X12 | * | Message set and complex type or group, Delimiter |
| <X12_ERS> | Element repetition separator for X12 | { | Local element and element reference, Repeating Element Delimiter |
| <X12_GROUP_TERM> | Tag terminator in X12 | ! | Message set level, Group Terminator |

These mnemonics were created for characters that cannot be entered into the message editor.
You can enter a mnemonic in the form <U+NNNN>, where NNNN are hexadecimal digits. None of the characters in this structure are case-sensitive. Do not enclose spaces inside the angle brackets. These numbers represent a Unicode character, not a character in the code page of the input message.
You can enter a mnemonic in the form <0xNN>, where NN are hexadecimal digits. None of the characters in this structure are case-sensitive. Do not enclose spaces inside the angle brackets. These numbers represent a raw hexadecimal byte value, not a character in the code page of the input message.
If a mnemonic is of the form <0xNN>, it is applied directly to the input data, and no code page conversion takes place. Otherwise, a mnemonic is applied to the data after the data has been converted into Unicode from the code page of the input data.
