As FIX 4.2 Specification, Delimiter is "0x01".
But I want to use "0x05 : | (vertical bar)" as delimiter.
Is it possible?

Using any other character or control character as a delimiter would be in violation of the specification. Any counterparty you wish to connect with via FIX, whether your counterparty uses a vendor provided FIX engine or a proprietary FIX engine, will not be able to process your messasges if you’re using 0x05 as a delimiter.
