Re: [Quickfix-developers] changing conditionally required fields

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

Y and N are the only options.  There isn't a specific setting for =
conditionally required because it isn't enough information.  There is no =
codification in the spec (at least in a machine readable way) what the =
conditions are for conditionally required fields.  So conditionally =
required is treated the same as required in the spec.

The reason you are sending the rejects is because you are trying to pull =
out the conditionally required field without checking for its presence.  =
You need to first do a isSetField before pulling it out.  Otherwise if =
you pull it out and it's not there, an exception will get thrown =
resulting in the reject.

  Subject: [Quickfix-developers] changing conditionally required fields


  I am trying to change some required fields to be conditionally =
required.

  First, I was attempting to just add the fields in fromApp(), but they =
weren't showing up in the log file.


  quickfix.field.AvgPx val =3D new AvgPx(0);
  message.setField(val);

  =20

  Then, I decided to just edit the xml file to match the changes to FIX =
that my counterparty made.

  In the xml file (FIX42.xml) the only values I see for required are "Y" =
and "N".  I set all the necessary conditional fields to "N", but am =
still sending business rejections back to my counterparty with =
"Conditionally required Field missing".  Is there somewhere else I need =
to set conditions?

                                                                         =
                                                 - Scott Riopelle
