Michael,

The pmap entry for the length field is located in the _message_ level pmap (bit 7 in this case). The sequence level pmap occurs for every iteration (repetition) of the sequence and provides presence info for the fields in the current iteration.

271 should indeed be 2 (exponent=0).

The FIX output would have been helpful earlier. Please provide a more complete description of your problem if you want any more help.

Good luck with your development.

/Rolf
