Thanks for letting us know.

I'm wondering how you found this. Were you considering implementing the Parties 
Reference Data messaging in FIX 5.0 SP2, or was it by chance that you found 
this?

If the former, I need to inform you that the Parties Reference Data messaging 
introduced in FIX 5.0 SP2 has been substantially overhauled by the Extension 
Pack 105. I strongly suggest against implementing Parties Reference Data as 
implemented in SP2, and suggest that instead you implement the EP105 version.

This issue has already been fixed by EP105, "Parties Reference Data Extensions" 
which was ratified at the end of last month. We are still working on coding 
this as an Extension Pack to the Repository. However, I can say that this EP 
deletes 1618 and 1619. 1620 is renamed, and it properly refers to 1621.
