Re: [Quickfix-developers] How do you determine valid tags for a message?

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

Warren,

You can use the DataDictionary to do this.  It has a method called =20
isMsgField where you pass in a message type and a field tag and it =20
will tell you if that field exists in the message or not.
