Re: [Quickfix-developers] Incorrect group information in FIX4*.xml files?

[<OM...@th...>]

Steve,

Yeah, it looks like this is a parser error.  We create these XML specs off
of the original specs, and the way messages and fields are represented is
very inconsistent all throughout.  FIX40 in particular was published as a
word document (not even in HTML like 4.1 and 4.2).  Most of these parsing
problems have been found and eliminated, but they do show up occasionally.
The required field should always be an 'N' or a 'Y'.  It looks like the
names of the fields that follow are somehow being interpreted as the
required flag from the original document.  This is something we will fix.

Unfortunately for FIX4.3 they took 2 steps backward by not only publishing
as a word document, but splitting it up into 7 seperate documents that all
refer to each other.  That make automatically parsing it painfull to say
the least!

Now if only the fix protocol organization would generate their HTML and
Word docs off of our XML format....

Hello,

I am trying to use the FIX4*.xml files to generate some code. It
appears that the group-related information is incorrect in the XML
files. For example, in FIX40.xml the MiscFeeAmt and MiscFeeType
"required" attributes contain fields that are unrelated to the
group. I'm assuming the "required" attribute is intended to relate
the fields to the NoMiscFees. Is that true or am I missing something?

Regards,

Steve Bate
