The library parsers use a

ValidateValue

action to validate their input. The action is configured with one or more Validation Rule Language (VRL) files.

For the following message types, SWIFT requires strict validation for Messaging Data Services (MDS) certification. The VRL rules enforce the complete set of validations required by the SWIFT standard:

101, 102+, 102, 103+, 103, 104, 105, 110, 111, 112, 200, 201, 202, 202COV, 203, 204, 205, 205COV, 210, 300, 304, 305, 320, 321, 330, 340, 341, 350, 360, 362, 380, 381, 400, 410, 412, 420, 422, 430, 450, 456, 500, 501, 502, 503, 504, 505, 506, 507, 508, 509, 510, 513, 514, 515, 516, 517, 518, 519, 524, 526, 530, 527, 535, 536, 537, 538, 540, 541, 542, 543, 544, 545, 546, 547, 548, 549, 558, 559, 564, 565, 566, 567, 568, 569, 575, 576, 578, 586, 600, 601, 604, 605, 606, 607, 608, 609, 620, 670, 671, 700, 701, 705, 707, 710, 711, 720, 730, 732, 734, 740, 742, 747, 750, 752, 754, 756, 760, 767, 768, 769, 800, 801, 802, 900, 910, 920, 935, 940, 941, 942, 950, 960, 961, 962, 963, 964, 970, 971, 972, 973, n90, n91, n92, n95, n96, n98, n99

For other message types, SWIFT does not require strict validation. The Validation Rules are correspondingly less strict.

If a parser finds a validation error, it does not fail. Instead, it writes data to the following output ports:
