  options = {
 }
)

format

no options (other than the default)

Details

bareNumber is a boolean field with a default of TRUE. If TRUE the physical contents of this field must follow the formatting constraints already set out. If FALSE the contents of this field may contain leading and or trailing non-numeric characters (which implementors MUST therefore strip). The purpose of bareNumber is to allow publishers to publish numeric data that contains trailing characters such as percentages e.g. 95 if anything, they do with stripped text.
