The definition of the BDS field 71 is "alphanumeric". In
bdsreaderthis definition was interpreted that the data specification should be integer (pre-24.0) or numeric (24.0). Neither is correct. The usual interpretation is that BDS 71 is a string with four digits. For example, "0123" should be read into R as character, and not be converted to integer or number.This PR corrects this error. Changes made:
schemas/bds_v3.0.jsondefinition change (we don't care about pre v3.0 schemas)As a result definition and
blbfandblbmfields are now read as character.
