- You can't parse non-XML data without a message definition. In other words, you can't just set the format to 'TDS' and expect the MRM ( or any other parser! ) to work out how to parse or write your message. As a bare minimum, you need to describe every field in your message, and define either a length or a delimiter for each one.
This is absolutely correct, to a point.
But I think the authors of the MIME parser would disagree...
If you change it from "non-XML data" to "non-self describing data", then it's better. MIME data, like XML data, is self-describing. The data stream itself includes all the necessary information to parse the data at a high level.
Although the MIME parser does only apply to v6.
And none of this has to do with Madi's question/troubles/process... _________________ I am *not* the model of the modern major general.
