{{Quickfixn}} ValidateUserDefinedFields=N does not work

[Timbaliuc, Veaceslav]

Hi Grant,

Thank you for your reply. I was not aware that 5000-9999 was reserved for UserDefinedFields. Now my issue makes complete sense. So, I have to to have all fields under 5000 in my data dictionary if the FIX message I’m received has them.

Regards,
Veaceslav

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 http://quickfixn.org/tutorial/custom-fields-groups-and-messages.html ?

Hello,

When I set ValidateUserDefinedFields=N in my configuration file, QuickFix\N seems to ignore this. I am writing an initiator, then when I do a trade on a fix session, my initiator sends a 35=3 message, with 58=Tag not defined for this message type371=1003372=AE373=2.

Why am I getting “tag not defined messages”? I thought that was the point of ValidateUserDefinedFields? Has anyone ever run into this problem?
