Field Summary

static int	DATA_ID (?) 'D' is a valid ID but I don't yet know what it signifies; 'DATA' is a guess
static int	DDR_ID ID code for the DDR leader
static int	ENDMARK circumflex - apparently used as an eof marker (?)
static int	ESCAPE escape
static int	FIELD_TERMINATOR the field terminator charactor
static int	REC_ID (?) 'R' is a valid ID but I don't yet know what it signifies; 'REC' is a guess
static int	SPACE space
static char	SUBTYPE_COMPLEX
static char	SUBTYPE_FIXED_POINT
static char	SUBTYPE_FLOAT_POINT
static char	SUBTYPE_INVALID this one isn't in the ISO 8211 spec but serves as a marker that we haven't found a valid value
static char	SUBTYPE_SIGNED_INT
static char	SUBTYPE_UNSIGNED_INT binary data sub-types
static int	UNIT_TERMINATOR unit terminator charactor
static int	V0
static int	V1

Constructor Summary

ISO8211()

Method Summary

static boolean	isValidRecordName(java.lang.Object name)
