{{Quickfixn}} "required tag missing" in response to execution report

[Grant Birchmeier]

In the standard FIX 4.4 message spec, 17 and 37 are required fields of
ExecReport, so it is not a bug.

Making it optional is a customization that your counterparty has made.

No problem, though.  You did exactly what you need to do, which is edit
your DD xml file to make the fields optional.

These are likely not the only customizations that your counterparty has
done.  You should get ahold of their specs and read through your DD file to
make sure there are no other changes you need to make.  I would be very
surprised if they didn't add other custom fields elsewhere.

(Really, this is something that you have to do for every new counterparty
you work with.  It seems nobody wants to use the default FIX definitions;
they all have to make weird changes.)
