does anyone know of any issue if a custom delimiter(e.g. \002) is used to separate text within a single tag? e.g. can the custom tag 9987 have a value of “abc \001 def”?

thx,

You’re supposed to use printable ASCII characters in fields other than the binary ones. Note some proposals such as the Algorithmic Trading extensions (http://www.fixprotocol.org/documents/1886/Algorithmic%20Trading%20Proposed%20Extensions%20v1.0.doc) have suggested using "; " (semicolon followed by a space).
