where the routing indicator is any character sequence
containing from 4 to 9 characters starting with R or

The reception of one or more "space characters" after
an "end-of-line function" where not prescribed by format,
or in the prescribed position in a format line, but
differing in number from that prescribed, shall not
cause a message to be rejected provided at least one
"space character" occurs where one or more are prescribed.
Such additional space characters shall not be retained
by the central equipment.

over the same channel as belonging to the same message
up to a total of 12.000 characters (see section 4.2.2.5).
This is not so, however, if an "end-of-transmission"
function is detected. Message format analysis shall
continue for other format elements within the characters
ascribed to the message even when a rejectable condition
has been found. Termination of message shall be according
to 4.2.2.8.
For the deviations 4.2.2.3 to 4.2.2.7, the message
shall be terminated immediately after detection of
applicable deviation.

If, during the reception of a message, no characters
are received for 30 seconds on a low-speed channel
or 5 seconds on a medium-speed channel, the processor
shall terminate the message being received, as described
in section 4.2.2.8 and discard all further characters
received until the reception of a new "start-of-message".
The terminated message shall be rejected to the service
position and a report made to the supervisor warning
him of this condition.

If the system detects that more than 140 identical
consecutive characters have been received over the
same channel, the message shall be terminated as described
in section 4.2.2.8 and a report shall be made to the
supervisor warning him of this condition. The message
so terminated shall be queued for message servicing.
Further characters received over that channel shall
not be retained until a new "start-of-message" is detected.
If this condition occurs on certain channels as determined
by the supervisor, a suitable service message shall
be automatically transmitted to the station concerned.
The provision of this section shall not apply to format

If the processor has not detected the sequence "VZCZC"
after the reception of 100 characters following the
previous "end-of-message" sequence, the system shall
send a warning message to the supervisor indicating
possible garbling on the channel involved. The characters
received on that channel shall be discarded by the
processor until the next "SOTF" sequence is detected.
4.2.2.7 C̲o̲n̲s̲e̲c̲u̲t̲i̲v̲e̲ ̲S̲O̲T̲F̲ ̲s̲e̲q̲u̲e̲n̲c̲e̲s̲
