{{Quickfixn}} Quickfixn Digest, Vol 112, Issue 9

Thu Feb 25 04:54:11 PST 2021

When looking at the FixValues.cs code it should be pulling the description form the xml as a string, so when you call string it is should return the description string.

https://github.com/connamara/quickfixn/blob/master/QuickFIXn/FixValues.cs

Does anyone know in what circumstances the string description can not be called?

Thanks Francis,

That’s odd because my previous build to a different broker I was able to output the strings using; 

var myOrdStatus = m.Get(new OrdStatus()).getValue();

var mySide = m.Get(new Side()).getValue();

…..

……

              Console.WriteLine("\nExecutionReport: {0} {1} {2}", m.GetType(),myOrdStatus, mySide);

Any idea why I can get the strings from one build but not the other? I can’t see what is different to cause this apart from the xml data ditionary however these are very similar, the fields within the Execution message section are identical. I’m struggling to understand why one build works but the other doesn’t?

Cheers

Hi,

OrdStatus is a CHAR field. You'll need to write your own parser to convert the value to a string like 'filled'.

Subject: {{Quickfixn}} Message values

Hi all,

Looking for a bit of advice on getting values from messages. I’ve looked online but can’t find a solution or info to help me better understand why it is not working as expected.

On my first initiator build I was able to get the field description from a received message and display that string. For example an Executionreport message m, I could do; m.Get(new OrdStatus()).getValue().ToString(); and I would get the string as the field description e.g “FILLED”. On my current initiator build to a new broker the same method gives me the CHAR value of the field only, so instead of getting the string “FILLED” I just get “2”. I’ve tried various different combinations of Get, getVaue, GetString etc but I cannot get the description string, whatever I try the output is always “2”. Is there some specific code that I need to use to get the field description output? Like I said the previous broker connection worked, this time it does not which I find odd. Both data dictionaries for current and previous build have the exact same field chars and descriptions listed on the xml file.

Thanks for any help here.

Hi Alan,

did you already try with 

m.GetString(Tags.OrdStatus) ?

Best,

Lan
