RepoCollSecTyp FIX Tag = 239

Imported from previous forum

Hi,

According to the FIX 4.4 specifications the above tag has type "int" but the allowed values enumeration is a set of alphanumeric codes like EUSUPRA, FAC …

The FIX specification 4.4 volumn 1 describes the "int" as "ASCII characters "-" and "0" - "9""

I dont know if this is a mistake. Can someone please clarify.

Thanks & Regards

Sanjay

Sanjay,

RepoCollSecTyp FIX Tag (239) was deprecated in 4.4 in favor or UnderlyingSecurityType (310). Yes it should have been described as "String" instead of "int" in line with SecurityType (167).

This field was deprecated in FIX 4.4 and replaced with UnderlyingSecurityType, tag 310 (see Appendix 6-E, item #5). Please do make sure you’re referencing the FIX 4.4 Errata specification.
