I have the following template:

Part of template
[decimal name="MDEntrySize" id="271"  presence="optional"] 
    [exponent][copy value="0"/][/exponent]
    [mantissa][delta/][/mantissa]
[/decimal] 

For the exponent I get the following hex value 0x83 which is 3 less (1) for 
being optional & greater than zero gives me a exponent value of 2

I have for the mantissa 0x80 which is mandatory and signed integer null.

Therefore when I get the final decimal I get [0 x 10.pow(2)] = 0;

This seems correct except when I compare to the openfast library I get 100 (as 
below line 7 271=100)

The lines below show 4 entries under a sequence.

The line beginning with '+' is my own app. The line with * is from openfast 
both processing the exact same binary message.

You can see line 8 field value 271=0 and does match the openfast results.

For line 8 also 346=1

Part of template
[uInt32 name="NumberOfOrders" id="346" presence="optional"] [delta value="1"/] 
[/uInt32]

The value of hex is 0x81 = 1 less (1) for optional and greater than zero which 
equals 0;
But as per the instruction above the delta value is 1 and the Entry in 
undefinded the initial Uint value = 1;
Is this correct or wongly interpreted.
