Sorry i don't understand that answer... Specifically do I cache values of 
optional fields or not? I am using EBS LIVE and some of the fields are optional 
and some are not. I need to know if an optional field, eg price or size, has no 
bit set in the map should i clear the value or use a cached valued. Since EBS 
LIVE does not use the NULL stuff I am basically asking if there is any 
difference between optional and non optional fields in terms of my code.

Here is my template:

note: i removed constant fields from this template
       becuase I don't care about them

template name="MarketDataFullRefresh" id="11"  
typeRef name="MarketDataFullRefresh"
