It seems that 368=15 was removed as a duplicate error code for for price banding so does this mean that it is free and if so could we use it for rejecting quote entries which fail minimum quote size validation (bid/offer quantity was less than specified configured minimum quote size for contract)?
10 = Price exceeds current price band Added FIX.5.0 EP43 [PriceExceedsCurrentPriceBand]
15 = Price exceeds current price band Added FIX.5.0SP2 EP144 Depr FIX.5.0SP2 EP171 [PriceExceedsCurrentPriceBand]
Standard valid values are never free for user-defined usages unless they are part of the union data type ReservedXXXPlus. FIX may decide to reuse deprecated values at a later time or intentionally leave them unused to avoid confusion with applications using older FIX versions. Tag 368 has Reserved100Plus, i.e. you can use tags 100 or above for your own values.
Thanks but if we would like to make this part of the standard then should we prepare a gap analysis to try and use this particular error code for minimum quote size validation?
Aditya,
Any functionality that any FIX user wishes to submit to the GTC to be discussed for inclusion to the standard needs a gap analysis.
Specific to your question about the deprecated value “15” in this case, it is unlikely we will reuse that value even though it is deprecated. It would be cleaner (to avoid any possible problems with other implementation parties) to assign a new enum value once your gap analysis is approved.
Got it, no problem…thanks.
