Hi Hanno, The comment to MDEntryType also makes me confused too. As general, NoXXX would be the first field in the repeating group, but it is not repeated; here, it may mean that MDEntryType is the first field, which is in the repeated list. Right ? As to the component issue, thanks for your info. And now, I have identified that in the \fix-repository_20090420\FIX.4.4\Components.xml,there is no such definitions for both MDIncGrp and MDFullGrp. And they are in the FIX 5.0 later. > 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".
