HL7 Batch format.

Can someone please help with the HL7 batch file format:

Is the following correct ?

<11>FHS<13>
<11>BHS<13>
<11>MSH<13> ..... <28><13>
<11>MSH<13> ..... <28><13>
<11>BTS<13>
<11>FTS<13>

Looks good. But what does the tags mean (<11>..<13>)?

Those are the characters 11 = 'Vertical Tab' and 13 = 'Carriage
Return'.
I have since then found documentation that shows this is incorrect.
Each file should begin with an <11> and end with a <28><13>,
everything else in-between should be terminated with <13>.
