Hi,

Need Suggestion.

  1. Is it compulsory that the first tag of the repeating group is mandatory if the repeating group is > 0 ?

  2. Is it compulsory that, the first tag must be the first tag in the repeating group ? (I means , in respective to posotion.)

Hi ,

Pls see the below notes for the above one:

The two rules you can enforce with solidarity from other FIX developers (occasionally documented in the FIX 4.4 spec) are

  1. that the first documented field tag of a repeating group must always be present and must always be first

  2. the first field tag encountered not defined to be in the group ends the repeating group. Beyond that you will encounter much variation in the order of fields - both inside and outside repeating groups.

Kumar.
