Calendar Strategies

Hi,

I am new to the FIX protocol and I am wondering how to specify a Calendar Spread for example FDAX SEP01 DEC01.

Looking at the component block I would be able to specify the FDAX part but not both of the individual legs.

As I am able to enter this into Eurex in this case as a single entity and I would be able to see prices as a single entity, how do I fit this into a Instrument Component block ?

Or would I have to agree a format with my counter party when passing this information on to him ?

Regards
