Field objects break down the data of the incoming transaction into fields. Each field represents a single piece of data that you want to manipulate or place into the output transaction. A field object has a data type, a length, and a reference to the location of the field in the incoming data.
For example, if an incoming transaction contained this data:
first_name|last_name|street|city|state|zipcode
you would build a field object for each discrete piece of data—first_name, last_name, street, and so on.
Before you build any other objects, build field objects
to define all of a transaction’s data.
