I neeed to provide the Swap Rates (or Rollover rates) that are applicable on 
open FX positions. This is equivalent to tags 1065, 1066 on the quote message.

I'm using FIX 5.0 SP2 and I see MD Entry Types
R = Daily value adjustment for long positions
U = Daily Value Adjustment for Short Positions

This may be the purpose for which these types are intended.
