Remarks	The input string for Example 4 contains too many digits for IFETEL compliance.
Remarks	The Phone (IFETEL) definition is specific to the Spanish, Mexico locale. The purpose of the definition is to separate a telephone number into the tokens used by the IFETEL national phone number registry. If the input string does not contain a Mexican phone number in IFETEL-compliant format, the output will have a NO SOLUTION parse result and the input string will be output in the Additional Info token as shown in Example 4, with spaces between the digits. The recommended procedure is to use the Result code field in the Parse node of your Data Job to store the results of the parsing operation. Then the data job should use the value of the Result code field to determine how the record should be processed. Records with an "OK" Result Code should be processed as valid IFETEL phone numbers. Those with a "NO SOLUTION" or "NULL" Result Code should be processed separately, if it all.
