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. > Hi, > > Has the size of tag9 (bodylength) and tag35 (messagetype) been specified > somewhere? > > Specs clearly states for e.g. size of tag10, to be 3 digits! > > Nick [You can unsubscribe from this discussion group by sending a message to mailto:[email protected]] -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Financial Information eXchange" group.
