[Quickfix-developers] Where to put OrdType in sendOrder

[Peter I. <pi...@at...>]

hi

in vb.Net I try to submit a simple order

	Public Sub sendOrder()
		dim newOrder as new QuickFix42.NewOrderSingle( _
			new ClOrdID("123456"), _
			new HandlInst("2"), _
			new Symbol("USD/CHF"), _
			new Side(QuickFix.Side.BUY), _
			new TransactTime(), _
			new OrdType(convert.ToChar("F")) _
			)


		newOrder.setField(new OrderQty(1000))
		newOrder.setField(new Price(1.2500))
		newOrder.getHeader()

		Session.sendToTarget(newOrder)
	End Sub


In the .outgoing log
8=FIX.4.2 9=148 35=D 34=9 43=Y 49=CLIENT 52=20040817-16:33:26.577 56=SERVER 
122=20040817-08:59:48  21=2 41=123456 44=1.25 53=1000 54=1 55=USD/CHF
most given parameters are present (Symbol, OrderQty, Price, HandlInst, 
ClOrderID) but OrdType is missing.

In the .incoming log are

Field '60 : TransactTime' must have a value.
Field '40 : OrdType' must have a value.
Field '11 : ClOrdID' must have a value.
Conditional field '38 : OrderQty' (CashOrderQty IS NULL ) must have a value.
Conditional field '152 : CashOrderQty' (OrderQty IS NULL ) must have a value.

OrdType is not sent, ok. ClOrdID should be sent, as logged in .outgoing, 
but it wasn't.


Where is the OrdType to be placed correctly?

thanks for any help
Peter
