[Quickfix-developers] Issue in parsing FIX44 Message - MsgTyp=n

[Tan W. H. <wen...@bu...>]

Hi All,

Is this a known issue in QuickFix ?

Whenever I pass the Message class a string with the following C++
string:

"8=FIX.4.4\0019=73\00135=n\00149=BRKR\00156=INVMGR\00134=235\00152=19980604-07:58:28\001212=14\001213=<R>A=B\001C=D</R>\00110=235\001"

It's unable to extract XmlData(213) properly if the contents contains
embeded SOH characters, eventhough XmlDataLen(212) has specified its
length accordingly.

The Message::extractField method seems to only check the availability
of the "length field" i.e XmlDataLen(212) in the BODY fields, ignoring
the HEADER fields.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks,
wh

    if ( pDD && pDD->isDataField(field) )
    {
      std::string fieldLength;
      // Assume length field is 1 less.
      int lenField = field - 1;
      // Special case for Signature which violates above assumption.
      if ( field == 89 ) lenField = 93;

      if ( pGroup && pGroup->isSetField( lenField ) )
      {
        fieldLength = pGroup->getField( lenField );
        soh = equalSign + 1 + atol( fieldLength.c_str() );
      }
      else if ( isSetField( lenField ) )
      {
        fieldLength = getField( lenField );
        soh = equalSign + 1 + atol( fieldLength.c_str() );
      }
    ///****NO LOGIC TO LOOK INTO the HEADER FIELDS****
