Re: FAST 1.2 timestamp question (example request)
Rolf Andersson / Pantor Engineering
25 Jul 2010 9:03AM ET Hi Robert,
tag 52 (SendingTime) has type UTCTimeStamp.
If you review the type definition in Fiximate you will find that two alternative formats are specified for FIX:
1. YYYYMMDD-HH:MM:SS (whole seconds) or
2. YYYYMMDD-HH:MM:SS.sss (milliseconds)
The default unit for the FAST 1.2 Timestamp type is milliseconds, so if you want millisecond resolution, your spec would be: <timestamp .../>
If on the other hand you want second resolution then you have to specify a unit as in: <timestamp unit="second" .../>
Pls refer to the page 9 in the FAST 1.2 addendum available on www.fixprotocol.org/fast
Best,
Rolf
