CDF3
The MasterCard Common Data Format (CDF3) file structure is based on XML and allows for variable-length records and fields. XiTransfer supports two variants of the CDF3 format: Standard and AirPlus. Though the XML structure of the file could allow for field lengths of any size, the CDF3 spec does impose character-count limits.
Standard variant
Note that the Voyager Account Number (VAN) element maximum length is 14 characters, effectively eliminating a wide majority of potentially valid token formats from consideration if VAN is used. A variable-length token may be the best solution in this scenario.
