Rolf, this was a custom feed provided by one of our vendors. > David, which feed are you referring to? /Rolf > > > In Fast 1.0, it was possible to assign two different fields (say, > > BID_PRICE and TRADE_PRICE) to the same PMAP slot, but different > > templates, with the particular template chosen at encode/decode time. > > So, a user could decode the first field (QUOTE_TRADE_INDICATOR, for > > example), and use its value to determine how a later field in the same > > message should be treated (continuing this example, as a BID_PRICE or > > a TRADE_PRICE). > > > > How would you structure this in Fast 1.1 using the templates? It seems > > that you would need a template to become active during encoding or > > decoding, based on the VALUE of an already encoded/decoded field. This > > is different from a dynamic template, where the identifier of the > > template to be activated is explicitly coded in the stream. > > > > The motivation behind this, by the way, is to try to decode an > > existing Fast 1.0 stream using a Fast 1.1 decoder. I believe that this > > could be done relatively easily if the non-existent Template > > Identifier field is skipped when encoding/decoding messages; but I > > have run into the issue described above.
