ExecType and OrdStatus

Imported from previous forum

Is it true that OrderStatus Value should always be the same for ExecType and OrdStatus? For example,
<ExecType><OrderStatus Value="0"/></ExecType>
<OrdStatus><OrderStatus Value="0"/></OrdStatus>

Thanks,

Anatoliy,

this is not always the case. for instance you may have an execution report that is a partial fill which completely fills the order. in this case you would have:

<ExecType><OrderStatus Value="1"/></ExecType>
<OrdStatus><OrderStatus Value="2"/></OrdStatus>

this is just one example. please refer to appendix D in the FIX 4.1 spec
