Re: [Quickfixj-users] question about data dictionary versions

[Andrew M. <mar...@gm...>]

oh dear, this is very disappointing. The trade feed I am working on now is
not the first FIX feed I have worked on. All of them have been subject to
this issue. I can't be the first person to be hit by this issue. I'm not
sure about adding ApplicationSystemVersion. Is it tag number 1604. I cannot
find that tag number. I am using FIX 4.4.

It seems a great omission to me that FIX provides no way for each side to
agree on the version of the data dictionary that is in use or even to know
which version is in use.
