[Quickfix-developers] RE: "Value is incorrect (out of range) for this tag" error for proprietary field value

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

Alvin,
Please forgive me but I guess I am a little unclear as to the new
configuration feature you are requesting. Would it be a setting that tells
QF not to check the field values for a particular field? All fields? If this
is the case what is the purpose of the data dictionary (other then needing
it for repeating groups)? Additionally, when connecting to a counter party
there is typically an exchange of interface specifications that delineate
the deviations form the standard FIX specification thus avoiding the
apparent "test in production" scenario you described above.

Subject: "Value is incorrect (out of range) for this tag" error for
proprietary field value



Hi, 

Can we have a new configuration that allows proprietary field value for a
tag.  For example, today we received a message with
MessageEncoding(347)=UTF-8. However, in Quickfix dictionary, it is UTF_8
(BTW, i believe UTF-8 is official according to FIX document). We had to
manually edit FIX44.xml and restart our FIX engine. That means, each time
counterparty has a proprietary field value, we have to manually add it into
the dictionary, otherwise the message will be rejected by QF. 

Thanks 
Alvin
