Transaction amount exceed 12 digit?

[A Haris Kurniawan]

Hello Guys,

i'm wondering does this ever happened to you guys?
the transaction amount exceed 12digit, yes it exceed 12 digit.

should i just extend the bit-4 length to lets say 14 digit, is that a best practice?
or should i better put the transaction amount somewhere else like bit-47 or bit-48

TIA
cheers

Hi:

That would be non-standard, your packager should be aligned to what your endpoint is expecting and I don't think they're expecting anything other than the standard. Nonetheless when in doubt, ask them :)

Cheers,

I'm curious to know the currency code (field 49) of that transaction.

Back in early 90's, everyone in Brazil was a milionaire. Some are bilionaire. It's possible 12 digits =P

And also countries with long history of high inflation rate. Exceeding 12digit amount is very possible

So what is the best practice?

Do you control the specification?
You need to realize,  transactions get forwarded and at some point the standard 12 will be needed.
You could use a private custom field to send the amount and the receiver needs to be aware of it,  then it's his headache to forward it ;-)

You could define the field as binary and cram in twice the number of digits. But at the end of the day the receiving entity needs to be aware of the format and size to handle and forward appropriately.

Using a nibble (half byte) per digit would double, but full binary value would allow transport of values from 0 to
