Nested TLV ISO fields

[csvdf]

Just wondering if you have considered supporting nested TLV where a bitmap field is itself comprised of a set of TLV fields
An example would be found in this Elavon spec under Field 60
Elavon spec

Would be good if they were also externally configurable as currently implemented in your customFormats

Thanks

@csvdf The Elavon spec you shared is not familiar. Please provide a more simple elaborate example of what it looks like, I used this library a while back and am rusty on ISO 8583 - I just still maintain for community.
Is this kind of TLV part of ISO 8583? If not part of the standard the probably not a good idea.

@zemuldo is this related to issue #122 where the Field 127 is a nested field?

Hello,

i also have this "special" requirement. Since field 60 in the spec is marked as reserved for national use it can contain basically everything. We reuse that field to stuff custom objects into it. This is encoded similar to field 127. Currently i tried to set it like this:

"60": "1=92", "60.92": token,

Custom formats:

"60": { ContentType: 'ans', Label: 'Reserved for private use', LenType: 'llllllvar', MaxLen: 999999 }, "60.92": { ContentType: 'b', Label: 'WLP Token', LenType: 'llvar' }

Without any luck. The only thing i can think of is use a second ISO message without MTI (so only bitmap and field data). Don't know if that is a valid solution though
