{{Quickfixn}} ValidateUserDefinedFields=N does not work

[Grant Birchmeier]

That's not what UserDefinedFields means.

Per FIX spec, tag numbers 5000-9999 are reserved for UserDefinedFields.
Tag 58, of course, is outside of that range, and is a standard FIX field
that is definitely not user-defined.

You are getting "tag not defined" because your data dictionary does not
have 1003 defined in it, or 1003 is not specified as belonging to message
type AE.

Have you read
