General Fix Protocol Question

Imported from previous forum

Can someone please explain this to me:
“The ordering of fields within the message is generally unimportant, however as noted length of encryption fields precede the encrypted fields also repeating groups are preceded by a count. The message is broken into three distinct sections: the head, body and tail.”

How does this work in practice?
Thank you all.

Hi s l / pyxis,

The question you posted is suited to

“General Q/A” forum at

http://fixprotocol.org/discuss/22

This forum “Website Feedback” is meant to give feedback about the http://fixprotocol.org/ website / webpages only. This forum does NOT discuss the protocol itself. This forum only deals with presentation of webpages. To give an available example of a trivial webpage enhancement:- In FIXimate webpage at

http://fixprotocol.org/FIXimate3.0/

The top left corner shows FIXProtocol logo similar to all other webpages at http://fixprotocol.org/. One difference, in all other webpages I have visited, its a hyperlink to home page, but on the FIXimate page its not a hyperlink. This is the right forum for requesting the administrators of this website to make it also a hyperlink like other pages.

In the future, please post to the appropriate forum, for that reason only there are so many forums so as to keep topics seperate. A word of caution - there are graveyards http://fixprotocol.org/discuss/read/650890da where you could find FIX-deadheads :<|X

Your question has a much better probability of being answered if asked (or re-asked) in the right forum.

Regards,
K. Mahesh
