Matt, my understanding was that the Parties block was added to define who is sending the request, not to specify the target (cancel orders of parties x,y,z). This is something we are in the process of adding to the OrderMassActionRequest (new block TargetParties). This should solve Jim's problem. The OrderMassActionRequest is the more generic message that can be used to suspend, resume or also cancel orders. Do we need to add it to OrderMassCancelRequest as well to keep both in sync?
