AllocID(70) in the Allocation messages is shortened to "ID". In non-allocation messages, the field name is "AllocID". The FIXML specification refers to the "Alloc" portion of the field name as the prefix of the name.

Let me know if this answers your question.

Another example is field AllocLinkID(196) - its' FIXML name is "LinkID".
