I have found an error in the Registration Instructions message specification (chapter 5) of FIX.4.3 with errata.

A field with tag 517 appears twice in the message.
The first time it appears with the correct field name (OwnershipType).
The second time it appears (last field in the message) with an incorrect field name (CashDistribAgentAcctName - which is actually tag 502).

This looks like a typo.
I assume that the second occurrence of 517 should actually be 502.

Please confirm.

Thanks.

John,

I agree with you. I looked at the original 4.3 and it should be tag 502 rather than 517. Thanks for pointing this out.
