How to Create an ISO 8583 sub message

1.3k Views Asked by At

I am trying to create a sub message for my ISO 8583 Message I am using the OpenISO8583.NET library by John Coxley.

My resulting ISO sub message looks like this: 00000000100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000172013012895943184

What my spec says is that for my sub message I need an 8 byte bitmap, so mine looks like this: 0000000010000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Then a variable length field on position 9 (with a maximum of 17 characters and a 3 digit length indicator) so my value looks like this:

0172013012895943184:

(the 017 is the length indicator then the rest is the value being passed)

However according to the application i am trying to send this message to, my message is incorrect if there is anybody out there that can identify the flaw in my sub message I would appreciate it a MIL thanks.

I've been trying to figure this value out for 2 weeks now.

I'm not sure about sub-messages in the ISO, but your data is of length 16, not 17...
