repeating groups and field order
alex shulman
4 Apr 2008 2:12PM ETI have a question about the interpretation of paragraph 4 in December 30, 2006, Version 5.0 Document below:
4. Fields within repeating data groups must be specified in the order that the fields are specified in the message definition within the FIX specification document.
The NoXXX field where XXX is the field being counted specifies the number of repeating group instances that must immediately precede the repeating group contents.
Suppose that there is a block component inside a repeating group. Does 4 mean that fields within the component and between the component and the group have to be in order (because the fields in the component, that is within the group, are the part of the repeating group)? For example, in message type "i". "QuotSetGrp" contains the component called "UnderlyingInstrument". Does it mean that in the message, within one repeatition of QuotSetGrp, all fields including the fields in the UnderlyingInstrument should be in order? In other words,
this is a correct fields order:
296
302
312 (part of the UnderlyingInstrument)
367
304
and this is not a correct fields order because312 goes after 367 BUT 367 in the specifications is after 312?
296
302
367
312 (part of the UnderlyingInstrument)
304
Thank you in advance for the clarification..
Alex
