Hi all,

I want to use a tag in the IOI message ( unused tag) that. I have text messages that i want to send as part of the IOI message. I am already using Tag 355 ( encoded text). i dont see any other Tag’s in the IOI message that i can use to pass Text messages.

I would also like to know how u can register to use user defined tags

The IOI message has the Text (tag 58) field and > 4.1 has EncodedText (tag 355). User defined tags can be registered via "Tech Resources", "Custom Fields" on the FIX website. (note that just because you elect to use user defined fields does not necessarily imply that you counterparties will adopt them as well).

Note that EncodedText is a binary field used to send foreign language charaters, i.e. Shift-JIS, Unicode, etc. It requires other fields (one preceeding it, EncodedTextLen(356) to indicate the length of the field, and another in the header, MessageEncoding (347) to indicate the encoding. The only valid values are:

ISO-2022-JP (for using JIS)
EUC-JP (for using EUC)
Shift_JIS (for using SJIS)
UTF-8 (for using Unicode)

Further, it is expected that EncodedText is paired with Text (58). Generally, if both are specified, Text is in a language with a latin-based alphabet, and EncodedText is the non latin-based representation of what is in Text.
