sorry for the double post. my mistake.

My question was:

4.1 spec states TransactTime in GMT format.

in conjunction with a blank TradeDate ( today default) would then GMT formatted TransactTime be

HH:mm:ss AM/PM

or full GMT time like so:

YYYYMMDD:hh:mm:ss AM/PM

or

what?

thanks for the info.

In the FIX 4.1 spec, TransactTime is of type "time", and the definition of the "time" data type is "Time/date combination in YYYYMMDD-HH:MM:SS format, colons and dash required. …"

Therefore I would think "YYYYMMDD-HH:MM:SS" is the only correct format, regardless of the content of TradeDate.

Hope this helps.
