Have you tried to find the answer in the FIX documentation? It took me about 30 seconds by searching for "BodyLength". Here it is (FIX 4.4 Volume 2 FIX Session Protocol, page 4 under Data Integrity): "The message length is indicated in the BodyLength field and is verified by counting the number of characters in the message following the BodyLength field up to, and including, the delimiter immediately preceding the CheckSum tag (“10=†)." > Hi, > > What is the field BodyLength stand for ? It is for the whole FIX > message's length, or for the length of the latter fields within this FIX > message (does not include the first 3 fields' length) ? > > I got some sample FIX 4.1 sample data from this site, but the BodyLength > field does not match to neither the whole message length or the latter > fields' length. > > 8=FIX.4.1 9=90 35=0 49=INVMGR 56=BRKR 34=239 52=19980604- > 08:02:31 10=026 8=FIX.4.1 9=112 35=0 49=BRKR 56=INVMGR 34=241 52=19980604- > 08:02:36 112=19980604-08:02:36 10=018 8=FIX.4.1 9=90 35=0 49=INVMGR 56=BRKR > 34=240 52=19980604- > 08:03:31 10=220 > > Thanks.
