It's the error message that is a little confusing there--I can see the logic of it but it's only that a non-existent tag has been accessed, not that the data dictionary or the spec (or any one) requires it to be in the message. </div>

DO NOT set UseDataDictionary to "N" !!! It won't fix your problem, and<br>
it'll break any repeating groups also.<br>
<br>
The engine is operating correctly. The problem is your code. I'm guessing<br>
you're calling "message.LastPx" (or "GetField(31)" or whatever) without<br>
actually checking that LastPx is in the message.<br>
<br>
If you attempt to extract a field and it's not set, the engine assumes<br>
that, since you expected the field to be there, it was conditionally<br>
required. (Not *always* required, but conditionally required, which means<br>
it's only required in certain circumstances that the engine can't know.)<br>
<br>
That is today, the engine is trusting that *your* code is correct, and that<br>
the other party has violated *your* requirement.<br>
<br>
It appears that you want 31 to be completely optional. In that case, you<br>
must check to see if it's present before you extract it, e.g.<br>
<br>
if(message.IsSetLastPx)<br>
lastPx = message.LastPx.Value; // or whatever<br>
<br>
(Pardon me if I didn't get the function names exactly right.)<br>
