Grant – Thanks for the links. What you’re saying makes sense. IB recommends 4.2 but that doesn’t
include the MultiLeg defs…but when I use 4.3, I get these 58=”Unsupported type” errors….no idea
what “type” tag it’s referring to….anyhow…I’ll plow on and maybe be able to help the next guy that
comes along…
Someone else suggested I just get them
to send me a log with a message that worked to emulate….biggest problem is just getting these guys to
respond to emails….
Thanks,
Jeff

The answer you got on StackOverflow is on the right track.

It's not unusual for firms to tweak (or majorly overhaul) the standard DataDictionary, and you need to make sure that your local DD xml file matches what they are expecting. It appears your counterparty is taking a field/message added to FIX 4.3+ and back-porting it into 4.2. I've definitely seen that done a few times before.
The DD xml file layout is pretty simple. If you haven't read over this page, please check it out:

Francis,
Thanks and good suggestion. I will go through carefully and see if I am missing anything.
I did have one go with the broker and I thought I vetted it all but I’m just not sure.
I’m using the repeating group and it seems to be adding the right thing for the legs but
the example in the doc is a bit different (option vs future instead of a pair of stocks).
Thanks,
Jeff

Hi Jeff,
That's not a very useful rejection message from IB. I don't see anything wrong with field 167. Since the rejection comes from their side, I would look at the other fields and make sure all required tags are in your AB message.
Best regards,
Francis Gingras
