Re: [Quickfix-users] MDEntryPx - Incorrect data format for value

[Harwinder S. <har...@ut...>]

Please ignore the previous email... this error was due to my naivete :-(

I had code like the following:

FIX::MDEntryPx price;
if (mdEntry.isSetField( FIX::FIELD::MDEntryPx ))
  mdEntry.get( price );

And, somewhere at the bottom of the function, I had a naked get, which did
not check if the field exists:

someotherfunction( price );

However, when the price field (MDEntryPx, tag 270) was not set, this would
result in an exception, which sent the reject message to the counterparty,
saying "Incorrect data format for value".
