Tail for ASCII String

Imported from previous forum

Hi all

In Spec, there is no example for Tail operator.
Here I have put an example of Tail operator for ASCII String (as my understanding).

Tail Operator Example – ASCII String
(string id=“1” name=“ISIN”) (tail value=“US001”/) (/string)

Input Prior Encoded PMAP FAST Hex
Value Value Value Bit


US001 US001 N/A 0 N/A
US025 US001 25 1 0x32 0xB5
US165 US025 165 1 0x31 0x36 0xB5
UK0001 US165 UK0001 1 0x55 0x4B 0x30 0x30 0x30 0xB1

Whether my understanding is right?
Whether it is better to include example for Tail operator in next version of spec.

Please feedback.

Thanks & regards
