Re: [Quickfix-developers] Managing possible duplicates

[Oren M. <or...@qu...>]

No.  QuickFIX manages the handling of the PossDupFlag. You will never 
receive the same message twice, and you will never be passed a message 
with a sequence number less than or greater than what you are 
expecting.  Whether or not this flag is set should not be relevant to 
you.  Every message you receive in you fromApp callback should be 
processed by your application without exception.
