DISPLY_NAME RWF length not same for IDN & EED

We find in CHE protocol file “TRWF2.DAT”, length of this field is 17:

DSPLY_NAME "DISPLAY NAME" 3 NULL RMTES_STRING 17


However in IDN dictionary, it is 16 indeed. I’m also not sure how this difference should be handled.

    The lengths will be different because TRWF2 and RWF/MF/MS encodings are different. TRWF2 uses the extra length for the LEF (length encoding flag). The underlying values carried are the same.
