Count the pipes to find a field, and count the empty ones too: an empty field still holds its place. Leave out the separator before MFE-2 and its value arrives as MFE-1, so the receiver stores MFN Control ID as Record-Level Event Code.

This page carries the MFE field table as published and nothing beyond it. The field notes, vendor behaviour, FHIR mapping and parsing guidance that thePID page has are still to be written for MFE.
