We have a new client using GTD. They are currently passing tag 126=00000000. I understand that this tag should be a GMT formated expiration date/time. The current “00000000” does not seem correct.

Can anyone provide an example of what this tag should look like? How should it be formatted?

Thanks

Chad,

Data formats are described at the front of the FIX spec documents under Data Types, and for 4.4 that is volume 1. ExpireTime (126) has a data type of UTCTimestamp:

YYYYMMDD-HH:MM:SS (whole seconds) or YYYYMMDD-HH:MM:SS.sss (milliseconds). Colons, dash, and period required.

For example 126=20060104-19:25:01

ExpireTime (126) is always an optional field. A value of 00000000 might indicate that there is no ExpireTime, and in that case the field should be omitted.
