{{Quickfixn}} Query position in FIX42

[Grant Birchmeier]

To be clear, we didn't invent these messages for these QF/n.  These message
definitions come straight from the FIX spec.  QF/n doesn't have a 4.2
PositionReport because FIX doesn't define one.

To your question, I don't know offhand.  All I can do is read through
FIX42's message definitions and see what I find, same as you.

If your counterparty supports position queries, their spec will tell you
what messages are to be used for it.  It could be entirely possible that
they don't offer that feature.  It's also possible that they may have
created a custom messages for that, in which case you'll need to adjust
your DataDictionary XML file.
