Re: [Quickfix-users] ValidateUserDefinedFields=N doesn't work in the [DEFAULT] Section Of a settings file in Quickfix 1.13.2

[Francis G. <fr...@at...>]

Here is a message I posted earlier in the day. It does not seem to have been accepted by SF so here it is again.  I use the latest QF VS9 1.13.2 initiator.

I have used QF initiators for years and it works splendidly. I am now trying to connect to a provider that has undocumented custom tags (which are not in the dictionary). I have these lines in the [DEFAULT] section of the config file: 

UseDataDictionary=Y
DataDictionary=FIX44.xml
ValidateUserDefinedFields=N

But I still get Rejects with "Invalid tag number" for all user-defined tags that are not in the DataDictionary. Shouldn't they be ignored by QF?


OUT: Reject 
8=FIX.4.4
9=107
35=3
34=5
49=DEMO
52=20100326-16:04:24.405
56=XYZ
45=3
58=Invalid tag number
371=10402
372=BG
373=0
10=175

Thanks,

Francis Gingras
