{{Quickfixn}} ClxRejectReason

[Ruaan Viljoen]

Hi Grant,

Sorry I was not explaining the issue very clearly.

When I receive a Reject(3) from the counterparty, and they specify certain reject reasons, I get a validation error:
58=Value is incorrect (out of range) for this tag
371=102

There are over 50 different values for the field (ClxRejReason) and some of their descriptions or meanings differ in terms of a certain context, so I don't really want to define
them in the DD, and rather handle them manually in the code, at least for now.

ClxRejReason is not a custom field as I understand, as ClxRejReason(102) is default in the FIX50SP2.xml shipped with version 1.1.2 of Quickfix/n and is defined as
<field number='102' name='CxlRejReason' type='INT'>
   <value enum='0' description='TOO_LATE_TO_CANCEL' />
   <value enum='1' description='UNKNOWN_ORDER' />
   <value enum='2' description='BROKER' />
   <value enum='3' description='ORDER_ALREADY_IN_PENDING_CANCEL_OR_PENDING_REPLACE_STATUS' />
   <value enum='4' description='UNABLE_TO_PROCESS_ORDER_MASS_CANCEL_REQUEST' />
   <value enum='5' description='ORIGORDMODTIME' />
   <value enum='6' description='DUPLICATE_CLORDID' />
   <value enum='99' description='OTHER' />
   <value enum='18' description='INVALID_PRICE_INCREMENT' />
   <value enum='7' description='PRICE_EXCEEDS_CURRENT_PRICE' />
   <value enum='8' description='PRICE_EXCEEDS_CURRENT_PRICE_BAND' />
  </field>

Would it work if I just changed this type to STRING? My desired behaviour would be to just accept anything put in there.

Regards
Ruaan

I'm assuming ClxRejReason is a custom field?

I'm not sure if I completely understand your question.  What kind of validation are you trying to avoid?

In your custom DD, you can just set ClxRejReason as a string.  The engine will just accept whatever's in there.

Hi,
Our fix counterparty is sending a set of custom ClxRejReason value in Reject messages. But the number of reasons is quite enormous, and the meaning of some of them are quite contextual.
Is there any way of not specifying these values in the field definition and not validating against the field definition?
I would still want to retrieve the values, just not validate against them.
