While this is the preferred representation it is understood that some systems may not currently comply to the standard. As such, this should be taken as guidance only. No software constraints have been placed on the data element to reject certain patterns therefore any string value sent is acceptable. However, it is best practice to follow the standard set out below for any new implementation or if a current system is being updated to conform to DSW standards.
