Re: [Quickfix-developers] price as double

[Joerg T. <Joe...@ma...>]

Oren,

with the Java API I have this problem form months. Doubles are not used 
in financial applications because of these rounding errors. In Java, we 
use BigDecimal in such cases. It would be good to have access to the 
String representation of a FIX field, ie get/set the value of all fields 
as String. How could I do that in C++ and Java?

Cheers, Jörg
