Hi,
I’m trying to establish if the placement of the NoGroups tag within a repeating group MUST appear directly before the groups themeselves or if it can appear anyway in the message? for example

40=1,
6100=2,
6101=A,6102,=B
6101=A,6102,=B

Or is it acceptable to do
6100=2,
40=1,
6101=A,6102,=B
6101=A,6102,=B

Thanks

Ryan

Yes it MUST. It is very clearly stated in Vol. 1’s “Repeating Groups” subsection of the “FIX “Tag=Value” Syntax” section. Refer to this section for the rules regarding repeating groups and the ordering of tags within it.

–quote–
• The NoXXX field (for example: NoTradingSessions, NoAllocs) which specifies the number of repeating group instances occurs once for a repeating group and must immediately precede the repeating group contents.
–end quote–
