adding new values to an existing field ...

Imported from previous forum

Hello ,

Is it possible to add some custom values to some Fields as ExecType (150). We need to add some other values and use them as the value of ExecType . Is it a correct approach or is it not possible for protocol ? What to do in this situation .

Thanks.

Hi,
Yes it is possible. For doing so you have to modify the assembly(or package) of FIX engine your are using and rebuild it as per your customization.
But I advise you to use custom fields for doing so rather than modifying the assembly.
