Some Tags like 10 (CheckSum), 75 (TradeDate), 52 (SendingTime) have fixed 
length / formats, other data types like int, char, float, RawData, XMLData etc 
do not have length restrictions. Refer Data Types section in FIX.4.0 
specification.doc Page 7/67 shown as Page 3 in footer of page.

But consult your counterparty's rules of engagement because some sell side 
applications place restrictions on length of 11 (ClOrdID), 41 (OrigClOrdID), 
some buy side applications place restrictions on length of 37 (OrderID), 17 
(ExecID) etc.
