Variable length fields

This table shows the variable-length fields. These fields are added as the length in bytes of the variable-length metadata in the .msg file.

Field Description
DESTCONN Destination connection
ORIGDESTCONN Original destination connection
DATAFMT Formerly always null
SEPCHARS User-defined separators
DRIVERCTL Keyed list for PD
USERDATA Data added by user

In the .idx file, between each full entry is a newline character (\n). There is no carriage return (\r).

In an actual index file each entry is a single line, so an index file with three entries would look similar to:

{{MID  {{DOMAIN  0  } {HUB  0    } {NUM 1407        }}} ...
{{MID  {{DOMAIN  0  } {HUB  0    } {NUM 1410        }}} ...
{{MID  {{DOMAIN  0  } {HUB  0    } {NUM 1413        }}] ...
