Multi-Value

Consider the following example:

  • We have 2 customers: John Doe and Mary Rose
  • John has 3 phone numbers:
    • MTN Rwanda: 0788000000 and 0788111111
    • Airtel Rwanda:0739000000
  • Mary has only 1 phone number:
    • Orange Luxembourg: 661890943

This is how we can represent these details:

'John Doe':@VM:'MTN Rwanda':@SM:'0788000000':@SM:'0788111111':@VM:'Airtel Rwanda':@SM:'0739000000':@FM:'Mary Rose':@VM:'Orange Luxembourg':@SM:'661890943'
  • We have one field for "Mobile Network Operator" which can have multiple values separated by @VM (Value Mark)
  • We have one field for "Phone number" denoted by @SM (Sub-Value Mark)
  • Here names are Single Field. The delimer is @FM or @AM (Field Mark)
