Perhaps better examples: escapeBlockStart="[[" escapeBlockEnd="]]"
or escapeBlockStart="SQ[" escapeBlockEnd="]EQ" ________________________________ From: Beckerle, Mike <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, April 14, 2020 12:24 PM To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Error in DFDL specification? No escape block start/end can be strings like "START" and "END" ________________________________ From: Costello, Roger L. <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, April 14, 2020 12:20 PM To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: Error in DFDL specification? Hi Folks, Table 27 talks about the properties for escaping. For the escapeCharacter property the description is very clear that the value of the property is a single character: Specifies one character that escapes the subsequent character. For the escapeBlockStart property the description clearly states that the value of the property is a string: The string of characters that denotes the beginning of a sequence of characters escaped by a pair of escape strings. Ditto for escapeBlockEnd. I believe that the value of escapeBlockStart and escapeBlockEnd must be a single character, correct? That is, "esc" is not a legal value for either of those two properties. Do you agree? /Roger
