How to specify NoAllocs in Fix 4.4?

Imported from previous forum

Prior versions of FIX had a field called "NoAllocs" used to denote no. of allocs in a message fragment. However the XSD - fixml-allocation-base-4-4.xsd, this field is missing.

In the FIXML 4.4 schema version - the number of repeating groups (such as NoAllocs) is not provided - the number of allocations is determined by the number of allocs elements provided in the message. This was removed because the count was deemed redundant to information available within the XML message structure.
