{{Quickfixn}} How to prevent rejection of message missing an *optional* field.

[Manuel Lopez]

ok, I think I found the problem, a typo in my code.  The quickfix error
message is a bit cryptic, but I searched for LastPx in my code and found
this:
AvgPx_fx6 = msg.IsSetAvgPx() ? (decimal?)msg.LastPx.getValue() : null,

that should be AvgPx on the right, so I was a looking for LastPx without
checking for its existence.
