Remarks
A character string encoded using a 5
component convention. The character code
5CH (the BACKSLASH “\” in ISO-IR 6) shall
not be present, as it is used as the delimiter
between values in multiple valued data
elements. The string may be padded with
trailing spaces. The five components in their
order of occurrence are: family name complex,
given name complex, middle name, name
prefix, name suffix. Any of the five components
may be an empty string. The component
delimiter shall be the caret “^” character (5EH).
Delimiters are required for interior null
components. Trailing null components and
their delimiters may be omitted. Multiple
entries are permitted in each component and
are encoded as natural text strings, in the
format preferred by the named person. This
conforms to the ANSI HISPP MSDS Person
Name common data type.
This group of five components is referred to as
a Person Name component group.
