Issued Quantity in Security Definition (d)

Imported from previous forum

Hi,

As Issued Quantity is required to calculate the Market Capitalization, we are in need of disseminating the Issued Quantity of securities via Security Definition message of the FAST feed.

I could not find a standard field in the Security Definition which can be used for this purpose. Hence checking whether we should introduce a new custom field.

Appreciated any advice on this.

Thanks,

Sounds more like a static attribute of the instrument, e.g. should be part of the or component block. The latter has the generic which has InstrAttrbType (871) where you can have a user-defined value to convey issued quantity. Maybe you do not need a new field.
