Prateek, In FIX4.2 you can use Tag#206 - Option attribute and Tag#201 -PutorCall. Amiya. > FIX 5.0 SP1 offers tag 1194 ExerciseStyle for that. FIX 4.3 offers tag > 461 CFICode which allows to convey the same information in the third > character. > > You asked about FIX 4.2 which does not have either field.
