decimal data types

Imported from previous forum

Is it true in “FAST Specification 1 x 1” the exponent can be encoded/decoded without the stop-bit?

My decimal field is using single operator for the complete decimal value.

Thanks,

In FAST 1.1, an exponent must always be encoded with a stop-bit. The only construct in FAST that doesn’t use stop-bit coding is the data part of a byte vector (or Unicode string).
