Inbound Message Format 
SOL ID1  ID2 TYPE 
CTRL 
SEQ 
TEXT 
EOL 
 
Figure 4-1  Outbound and Inbound Message Formats 
Although some fields have the same label, the function of, and expected content, of each field 
directly relates to the kind of message – outbound or inbound. 
SOL and EOL are the only two fields with the same function in all three kinds of messages: 
SOL 
Start of Line (or start of message) character is the less than symbol (<). 
EOL 
End of Line (or end of message) character is C
R
