The field contains the value 12345 and the type is N9. This is to
be interpreted as 0.000012345.
If the value to be represented is 100.25, and the type is N2, the
transmitted data is 10025.
If the value is -100.25, and the type is N2, the transmitted data
would be -10025.
If the value is to be interpreted as .01 and N2, the transmitted data
is 1.
R
or
Rn
Decimal numeric data where the decimal is required in the
transmitted data if the number contains a fraction, but is optional
for integers.
Do not include the decimal for whole numbers and do not include
leading zeros. Do not include commas in the number (use 1000
rather than 1,000).
The minus sign is included if it is negative. Do not include
commas or plus signs. Leading zeros should be suppressed unless
needed to satisfy the minimum length. Trailing zeros at the end
should be omitted if the value includes a decimal point unless they
show the level of precision. Signs and decimal points do not count
toward length.
Examples:
The data is 150.25 and the type is R. The value being represented
is also 150.25.
The data contains 150.23 but the type is R1. The value being
represented would be 150.2.
TM
Time, in 24-hour clock time as follows: HHMM, HHMMSS, or
HHMMSSD, or HHMMSSDD, where H = hours (00-23), M =
minutes (00-59), S = integer seconds (00-59) and DD = decimal
seconds; decimal seconds are expressed as follows: D = tenths (0-
9) and DD = hundredths (00-99).
