[Quickfix-developers] Field validation problems

[Andrei G. <an...@gm...>]

Hi there,

I sent a message to a QuickFIX application which contained field
PartyIDSource(447) with an incorrect value: It should be a char, but
instead contained a string value. The message got through  QuickFIX
validation and caused the application to crash. The following message
depicts the problem:

8=FIX.4.4|9=233|35=D|34=82|49=P-MEARECLION-KMT|52=20060830-19:06:39.468|56=FIXGatewayTI|11=8CAEF67868D248628722FCA1B4731A52|21=3|22=4|38=100|40=2|44=2700|48=BFMRB3600102|54=1|55=A18J07|60=20060830-16:06:39|453=1|448=P-MEARECLION-KMT|447=AARS|452=12|10=004|

Using QF 1.12.4 via the .NET wrapper:


if (partiesGroup.isSetPartyIDSource())
{
	partyIDSource = partiesGroup.getPartyIDSource().getValue().ToString();
}


We get the following exception:

Source: quickfix_net
StackTrace: at _CxxThrowException(Void* , _s__ThrowInfo* )
at FIX.CharConvertor.convert(basic_string<char\,std::char_traits<char>\,std::allocator<char>
>* value)
at QuickFix.Group.getField(CharField field)
at QuickFix44.NewOrderSingle.NoPartyIDs.getPartyIDSource()

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,
