> Does Bloomberg have any number (inofficially) in IDSource?
> Bloomberg does not have an official ID source defined by the FIX spec. For orders generated by Bloomberg users, the Bloomberg Ticker Symbol is passed in tag 55 (Ticker). A secondary ID is defined in tag 22 (IDSource) and the appropriate value passed in tag 48 (SecurityID). Currently, Bloomberg supports values 1=CUSIP, 2=SEDOL & 4=ISIN for tag 22, and this is configurable on a session by session basis with our FIX clients.
