Automated encoding of field operators

A computing device, comprising:

• an input device to receive a first input value associated with a first data field;
• one or more processors;
• and
• an encoder module executable by the one or more processors to:
• responsive to determining that the first data field is associated with an equivalence operation, select a second input value associated with a corresponding second data field of a previously transmitted message sent from the computing device, wherein the second input field corresponds to the first input field;
• compare the first input value and the second input value to determine if the first input value and the second input value are equivalent;
• and
• when the first input value and the second input value are equivalent,
• generate a message that omits the first input value for the first data field, and
• provide an operator symbol indicating the equivalence operation to specify that the first data field of the message is to be associated with the second input value of the second data field in the previously transmitted message.

A computer-readable storage medium encoded with instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors of a computing device to:

• receive a first input value associated with a first data field;
• responsive to determining that the first data field is associated with an equivalence operation, select a second input value associated with a second data field of a previously transmitted message sent from the computing device, wherein the second input field corresponds to the first input field;
• compare the first input value and the second input value to determine if the first input value and the second input value are equivalent;
• and
• when the first input value and the second input value are equivalent,
• generate a message that omits the first input value for the first data field, and
• provide an operator symbol indicating the equivalence operation to specify that the second input value of the second data field in the previously transmitted message is to be associated with the first data field of the message.
