Hi Kiran,

There is no size limit for tag 17, ExecID (or for most identifiers in FIX), defined in the standard.

In practice, most 4.0 implementations I’ve seen use positive ints that fit into a 64bit long (that is, values between 1 and 2^63). This tag’s type becomes a string in later FIX versions and we often see lengths up to 80 characters.

Regards, Greg.
