In the doc fix-44_VOL_3_w_Errata_20030618.doc, page 64, it says that MDEntryType (269) "Must be the first field in this repeating group". Why do you think that NoMDEntries is the first field? The fields NoXXX of type NumInGroup always indicate the number of instances in the repeating group. A group with 2 fields would look like this: NoXXX = 2 F1 =<value> F2 =<value> F1 =<value> F2 =<value> NoMDEntries is not a component. Please check FIXimate where you will see that this field is part of 2 components, i.e. MDIncGrp and MDFullGrp. These are defined in component.xml. FIXimate is a good tool to see the components and their elements. > I have some concerns about the tag NoMDEntries #268 as below: > > From the doc fix-44_VOL_3_w_Errata_20030618.doc, page 64, we can see > that in the table of Market Data - Snapshot / Full Refresh, the tag > NoMDEntries, of which type is NumInGroup, is supposed to be the first > tag of the repeating group, however: > > 1. the comments for this tag is "Number of entries following.", which > makes me confused.
