[Quickfix-users] switching ordType

[Bobby R. <bob...@gm...>]

I am trying to build a new order based on a conditional value from a db.  I
can create the order manually with no problem if I hard code in the order
type

//Create FIX44 message
       FIX44::NewOrderSingle newOrder(
           FIX::ClOrdID(ordID),
           FIX::Side(side),
           FIX::TransactTime(),
           FIX::OrdType(*FIX::OrdType_MARKET*)
       );

dealing with the side if I do the following it works no problem as well:
FIX::Side side;
...
 switch(atoi(row->Get(4))) //where row->Get(4) is an int from a mysql
database
        {
            case 1: side = FIX::Side_BUY; break;
            case 2: side = FIX::Side_SELL; break;
            case 5: side = FIX::Side_SELL_SHORT; break;
        }

However if I try the same with OrdType i get a compile error

Tried all three;
FIX::OrdType ordType;
const char ordType;
char ordType;

switch(atoi(row->Get(2)))
        {
            case 1: ordType = FIX::OrdType_MARKET; break;
            case 2: ordType = FIX::OrdType_LIMIT; break;
            case 3: ordType = FIX::OrdType_STOP; break;
        }

Thanks in advance
