Hi,

Is it mandatory to send a string in a Byte Vector?
I have a situation where I need to send a sequence number which is a uInt64 value. I will send 0x88 (= 8 bytes length) followed by 8 bytes of the uInt64 field in non-stop bit encoded format.

Regards
Darshan

You may send whatever you like in a byte vector, but from an interoperability perspective, I’d suggest you try to use as specific types as possible.

If the value is indeed a uInt64 and is going to be used as a number by the receiving end, I’d suggest you use the instruction instead since this enables the receiving end to use standard FAST 1.1 compliant software out of the box.
