Re: [Quickfixj-users] First Field in a Repeating Group only needs sent in certain scenarios.

[Philip W. <ph...@wh...>]

I think he wants the first field of the repeating group to not always actually exist in the group.

The answer is no, it’s not allowed. It makes it hard to work out where a group starts and ends 

I suggest introducing a new artificial GroupID tag to use as the first tag (just set it to an ordinal value) in the group and then having the old first tag be the second tag if it exists. You’ll need to agree this with your counterparty.

Best,

Philip Whitehouse

Basically I need to be able to change the first field of the repeating group depending on the scenario at hand?
