Hi,

From the FIXML 4.4 Schema Design guidelines, we know that field name prefixes that were used in FIX tag=value format for uniqueness shall be removed – thus creating a contextual abbreviation. Who can tell me what’s the meaning of field name prefixes？ Of course it’s perfect to give me a example.

Thanks in advance

AllocID(70) in the Allocation messages is shortened to “ID”. In non-allocation messages, the field name is “AllocID”. The FIXML specification refers to the “Alloc” portion of the field name as the prefix of the name.

Let me know if this answers your question.

Another example is field AllocLinkID(196) - its’ FIXML name is “LinkID”.
