{{Quickfixn}} Help. Error reading a group

[Sahil Neb]

Hi,

We use QuickFIXn with FIX44 and have a problem in reading a group with a non-required field as the first element.

We get the error message:-
Group 897's first entry does not start with delimiter 11

In the data dictionary the group is specified as :-
<group name="NoTrades" required="Y">
        <field name="ClOrdID" required="N" />
        <field name="OrigClOrdID" required="N" />
        <field name="OrderID" required="Y" />


In some messages, we receive "ClOrdID" as the first element of the group which we read without error,
and in other cases we get "OrigClOrdID" as first element which fails.

We have discussed with the sender and they can't change their specifications.

Is there any way we can address this issue?
Perhaps by not relying on the required="N" elements as the delimiter of the group?

Any pointers or suggestions will be very helpful.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Sahil Neb
