^BD

Special Considerations for ^FD when Using ^BD
The ^FD statement is divided into two parts: a high priority message (hpm) and a low priority
message (lpm). There are two types of high priority messages. One is for a U.S. Style Postal
Code; the other is for a non-U.S. Style Postal Code. The syntax for either of these high priority
messages must be exactly as shown or an error message is generated.

Format ^FD <hpm><lpm>
This table identifies the parameters for this format:
