Depending on the use of operators you may end up with zero, one or two bits for a decimal field. You may find it helpful digging through the following discussion thread: http://www.fixprotocol.org/discuss/read/7a9d38be /David > In that case how many bits are allocated in presence map for a single > decimal field (FAST 1.1)? > > > The single field scaled decimal as defined in FAST 1.0 is deprecated. > > The most interoperable way of specifying a decimal number is by using > > the decimal type of FAST 1.1.
