Message set defaults

This topic describes the default dateTime formatting symbols for the different physical message representations.
Table 1 shows the default dateTime formatting symbols for the different physical message representations:
Table 1. DateTime formatting symbols for physical message representations
Message set property CWF default TDS default XML default
Default DateTime Format See Note1. See Note1. See Note1.
Default Time Zone ID N/A N/A N/A
Century Window 53 53 (80 for SWIFT) 53
Days in First Week of Year 4 N/A N/A
First Day of Week Monday N/A N/A

1 You can either set the default dateTime format to be derived from its logical type (the default), or specify the dateTime format to be used. This is set at the message set level for each physical format that has been added.

You can update all these default values. The CWF defaults are set for all values of the Physical Type property. If you change the CWF Physical Type to Binary, Packed Decimal, TimeSeconds, or TimeMilliseconds, you must update the Default DateTime Format property manually to ensure consistent results.

For more information about these message set properties, see Custom Wire Format message set properties, TDS Format message set properties, or XML Wire Format message set properties.
