I have a couple of questions regarding the FIX 4.4 Repository files. (Pardon me if this is the wrong discussion forum).

  1. The following fields do not have corresponding entries in the enums.xml file, although the field description (in fields.xml) indicates the values of these fields are restricted. Is it because the values in the description are only a guide and should not really be used to validate the field?
  • SettlCurrFxRateCalc (tag 156)
  • SettlDeliveryType (tag 172)
  • MessageEncoding (tag 347)
  1. The description text for fields appears slightly mangled. It appears that in the case where there are value enumerations in the description, the line for value ‘1’, if any, is missing the ‘1’ (see below for an example). While this is cosmetic and only affects readability, is this a known problem that will be addressed in future versions of the repository? This seems to be a consistent problem across all fields.

Example:

263
SubscriptionRequestType
char
Subscription Request Type
Valid values:
0 = Snapshot
= Snapshot + Updates (Subscribe)
2 = Disable previous Snapshot + Update Request (Unsubscribe)
