QuickFIX

When you say defining in the XML, just make sure you
add those to both the <fields> section and also add
them to all the messages you would like them to be
accepted in.

Other then that you should be able to simply copy over
the old file which will then load next time you bring
the process up. (I'm thinking in the future this can
be sent along with a custom FIX message so the DD can
be updated realtime as well).

Hi

We are using quickfix 8.0, we need to support "Quote,(FX Outsight) [35 =
=3D S]" message for one of our provider. The provider is using FIX 4.2.

Problem: The provider uses two fields of FIX4.3, "MinBidSize" and =
"MinOfferSize", these fields are not defined for FIX4.2, So how do we go =
about it?

Also if we need to add an additional custom field not defined in =
FIXProtocol and not support by quickfix also, how are we going to do =
that.

Basically we do not know how to get and set custom fields. Any help??

thanks
Dinesh

You should be able to add these fields to the XML data dictionary that
you use for this connection (assuming you are using a data dictionary
on that connection - if not, you don't need to do *anything*).  You
will need to add them to the <fields> section and to the appropriate
<message>s.

Read the Fine Manual (some might use a stronger F-word there :)

All,

When defining custom user fields:

USER_DEFINE_STRING(CUSTOM, 9980);

Is there any way to make the library recognize this field when it is =
being received outside of hacking the Header Files?
