The following fields are present in an incoming message:

  • 3, 4, 7, 11, 12, 14, 22, 26, 28, 29, 32, 35, 37, 41, 42, 43, 48, 49, 55, 63, 64

These fields are represented as the value ‘1’ in a string of 64 characters; fields absent are represented as ‘0’:

This string is converted to binary:

  • 0011 0000 0011 0100 0000 0100 0101 1001 0010 1000 1110 0001 1000 0010 0000 0011
