Volume 6 (data dictionary) of the FIX 5.0 contains a number of errors where the allowed values for tags are muddled up - ie the allowed values for a tag appear erroneously under a different tag.
Some errors that I have noticed appear below...
* Tag 1081 is missing its allowed values. They appear erroneously under the description for tag 1087.
* Tag 1092 is missing its allowed values.
* Tag 1093 is missing its allowed values. They appear erroneously under the description for tag 1099. Also the description should say "lot type" intead of "lot size".
* Tag 1094 is missing its allowed values. Also its type should be char, not int. Its correct values appear erroneously under tag 1100.
* Tag 1099 values are incorrect. They belong to tag 1093.
* Tag 1100 values are incorrect. They belong to tag 1094. The correct values for this tag appear erroneously under tag 1106.
* Tag 1101 is missing its allowed values. Its correct values appear erroneously under tag 1107.
* Tag 1106 values are incorrect. They belong to tag 1100.
* Tag 1109 is missing its allowed values. Its correct values appear erroneously under tag 1115.
* Tag 1108 is missing its allowed values. Its correct values appear erroneously under tag 1114.
* Tag 1107 is missing its allowed values. Its correct values appear erroneously under tag 1113.
* Tag 1113 values are incorrect. They belong to tag 1107.
* Tag 1115 values are incorrect. They belong to tag 1109. Its correct values appear erroneously under tag 1121.
* Tag 1114 values are incorrect. They belong to tag 1108.
* Tag 1121 values are incorrect. They belong to tag 1115.
* Tag 1133 is missing its allowed values.
* Tag 1134 values are incorrect. They clearly belong elsewhere.
