Re: [Quickfix-developers] Conditional Required Tag?

[James D. <jc...@co...>]

Hei,
In FIX, a conditionally required field is a field that is required only when
another field in the message is set or set to a specific value. In this
case, the BusinessMessageReject message (j) is communicating to you that the
conditionally required field Price (44) is missing from the executionReport
(RefMsgType (372)=8 with RefSeqNum(45) = 1077). The reject reason is given
in tags 380=5 and 58=Conditionally Required Field Missing (44).

 Price (44) is *CONDITIONALLY *required when OrdType (40) is set to Limit
(2) or any other order type that requires a price (stoplimit,
limitOnClose...).

I would suggest spending some quality time with the FIX Protocol
Specifications. FIX 4.2 is a quick and fun read and will give you a basic
understanding of the Protocol, order states and message recovery.
