Hi Hanno, Thanks for your quick response. So, take this FIX msg for example, 8=FIX 4.4^9=11^35=0^10=10^ So the BodyLength is 5 for 35=0^, or it is 6 for ^35=0^ ? I am not a native English and such sentence "by counting the number of characters in the message following the BodyLength field up to" make me confused without any instance as example. Thanks. > Have you tried to find the answer in the FIX documentation? It took me > about 30 seconds by searching for "BodyLength".
