Your new Data Element will be placed into the Element List sorted by its Tag value on the same level as that of the Current Data Element. If the DE already exists, the new one overwrites it. Specifying a Group Length DE does not cause an error, but simply is ignored. Your data will be padded to an even length if necessary.
