In SWIFT FIN and in FIX I've seen several instances of enumerations  
dictating a
range of values OR one of an additional set of values, e.g. the value must  
be in
the range 000 to 99999 OR must equal one of 199999, 299999, 399999 ...  
etc. Is
there any suggested way to handle these types of enumerations, (other than
entering every single value into the codelist) ?

I see in the code list representation requirements v1.0, under item F .1  
"It
should be possible to represent code lists that cannot be enumerated",
consideration has been given to some types of non enumeratable lists, but  
that
does not cover this case explicitly.
