Properties of the Contact Group Type
Described in the following table are some of the properties that define the
Contact group type.
Property Value Description
Group Subclass Sequence Each component of this group is
validated sequentially.
Format Explicit The format of this group relies on syntax
to separate components. Each
component can be identified by its
position, or by a delimiter in the data.
Delimiters appear for missing
components.
Component
Syntax
Delimited The syntax of the Contact group is
delimited, where a delimiter in the data
separates each component.
Delimiter Literal The literal comma (
,) delimiter separates
(delimits) the components of each
contact record.
Terminator Literal A terminator is a syntax object that
appears at the end of a data object.
Defining the terminator as literal
identifies the terminator as a known
constant value.
Value
<NL>
The value of the literal terminator of the
Contact group is <NL> (new line
character). This non-platform specific
terminator specifies a new line.
For example, for the Contact record on
Windows, the <NL> new line character
represents a carriage return character
followed by a line feed character. For the
Contact record on a UNIX system, the
<NL> new line character represents a line
feed character.
