Re: [Quickfix-users] Conditionally required Field

[Joaquín G. <j.g...@ra...>]

Hi Grant,

You're right. That's exactly what is happening.

I just added a bit of code to check if SecurityType is FUTURES before  
reading field 200 and the problem is over.

Thank you!

Oh, sorry, I read your first mail wrong (obviously).

I have two thoughts:

1) Does your data dictionary indicate that this field is optional and
not required?  (It's probably fine.)

2) In my experience with the Java version of QF, if your app code
requests a field that isn't there, the exception that is thrown will
give a bahavior similar to what you are seeing.  (I guess the
reasoning is: "it's not required in the dictionary, but the code is
requesting it, so it must be conditionally required!") So I suggest
checking your app code and making sure you aren't extracting field 200
without first checking that it's there.
