Represents a disposition code. See the specification.
Much of the work is done by the parent class, Section 27, “class SingleField: Generic
single-character field”. Warning: this is a
fixed-field version, so blank disposition codes are not
allowed.
For the version of this field that appears in the “short tail” of the pre-2006 protocols, this class will need a new method that scans an optional disposition code.
For the “long tail” version, which is a fixed field but can have blank values, yet another method will be required.

Uses the parent class's .scanField() method to
do all the work.
