[Quickfixj-users] SecurityTradingStatus valid values VS. incorrect tag value

[Matyas B. <ma...@ba...>]

Hi All,

We found a strange problem, when we made a FIX.4.4. testing application. 
When we send a SecurityStatusRequest (35=e), the server sends the 
SecurityStatus (35=f) message with SecurityTradingStatus (Tag #326) = 17 
("Ready to trade!")!

But the quickfix throws an incorrect tag value exception
(<20060719-09:42:51, FIX.4.4:A81->XXXXX, event> (Message 371 Rejected: 
Value is incorrect (out of range) for this tag:326) 
FixTester.toAdmin: 
8=FIX.4.4
9=131
35=3
34=103
49=A81
52=20060719-09:42:51.591
56=BAXTER
45=371
58=Value 
is incorrect (out of range) for this tag
371=326
372=f
373=5
10=253
)

We checked the constants on the quickfix javadoc  file:

*quickfix.field.SecurityTradingStatus 
<http://www.quickfixj.org/quickfixj/javadoc/quickfix/field/SecurityTradingStatus.html>* 

|public static final int| 	|FIELD 
<http://www.quickfixj.org/quickfixj/javadoc/quickfix/field/SecurityTradingStatus.html#FIELD>| 
	|326|
|public static final int| 	|MARKET_IMBALANCE_BUY 
<http://www.quickfixj.org/quickfixj/javadoc/quickfix/field/SecurityTradingStatus.html#MARKET_IMBALANCE_BUY>| 
	|7|
|public static final int| 	|MARKET_IMBALANCE_SELL 
<http://www.quickfixj.org/quickfixj/javadoc/quickfix/field/SecurityTradingStatus.html#MARKET_IMBALANCE_SELL>| 
	|8|
|public static final int| 	|MARKET_ON_CLOSE_IMBALANCE_BUY 
<http://www.quickfixj.org/quickfixj/javadoc/quickfix/field/SecurityTradingStatus.html#MARKET_ON_CLOSE_IMBALANCE_BUY>| 
	|9|
|public static final int| 	|NO_OPEN_NO_RESUME 
<http://www.quickfixj.org/quickfixj/javadoc/quickfix/field/SecurityTradingStatus.html#NO_OPEN_NO_RESUME>| 
	|4|
|public static final int| 	|OPENING_DELAY 
<http://www.quickfixj.org/quickfixj/javadoc/quickfix/field/SecurityTradingStatus.html#OPENING_DELAY>| 
	|1|
|public static final int| 	|PRICE_INDICATION 
<http://www.quickfixj.org/quickfixj/javadoc/quickfix/field/SecurityTradingStatus.html#PRICE_INDICATION>| 
	|5|
|public static final int| 	|RESUME 
<http://www.quickfixj.org/quickfixj/javadoc/quickfix/field/SecurityTradingStatus.html#RESUME>| 
	|3|
|public static final int| 	|TRADING_HALT 
<http://www.quickfixj.org/quickfixj/javadoc/quickfix/field/SecurityTradingStatus.html#TRADING_HALT>| 
	|2|
|public static final int| 	|TRADING_RANGE_INDICATION 
<http://www.quickfixj.org/quickfixj/javadoc/quickfix/field/SecurityTradingStatus.html#TRADING_RANGE_INDICATION>| 
	|6|

But, in the FIX.4.4 documentation contains this:

  Valid values:
  1 = Opening Delay
  2 = Trading Halt
  3 = Resume
  4 = No Open/No Resume
  5 = Price Indication
  6 = Trading Range Indication
  7 = Market Imbalance Buy
  8 = Market Imbalance Sell
  9 = Market On Close Imbalance Buy
  10 = Market On Close Imbalance Sell
  11 = (not assigned)
  12 = No Market Imbalance
  13 = No Market On Close Imbalance
  14 = ITS Pre-Opening
  15 = New Price Indication
  16 = Trade Dissemination Time
  17 = Ready to trade (start of session)
  18 = Not Available for trading (end of session)
  19 = Not Traded on this Market
  20 = Unknown or Invalid
  21 = Pre-Open
  22 = Opening Rotation
  23 = Fast Market


Why hasn't the quickfix constants for every valid values of the 
SecurityTradingStatus?
How can I solve this problem? (Catch the exception after the 
MessageCracker, or extend the constants wit the possible values...)

Thank you,

                             Matyi
