The OSI initiative would require that Options Products would need to be identified by full Maturity Date, as opposed to the Maturity Month and Year; this will allow for Options products that have non-standard expiration dates, or products that expire on a non-monthly cycle. Depending on the FIX Message involved, several different tags could be involved. A simple example would be the submission of an Order. If the OSI initiative is in effect, I would expect an Order submitted without tag 205 to be rejected, as below.

Order in:
[8=FIX.4.2^A9=0271^A35=D^A50=SUB:SUB^A34=2^A49=TEST101^A56=DFIX201^A52=20090320-19:35:18^A11=VJP0001-20090320^A76=325^A21=1^A55=ABI^A167=OPT^A200=200810^A201=0^A202=35.00^A207=CBOE^A54=1^A38=500^A40=2^A44=8.3^A59=0^A77=O^A204=0^A60=20041020-12:00:00^A386=1^A336=W_MAIN^A9324=Internal 4294^A109=ABCD^A439=3A6n2^A440=QA2^A10=129^A]

Order Reject out:
