Vol. 1 pg. 19 of the FIX 5.0 Specifications gives an example of a repeating group. In it, the comments for the NoXXX field claims that the NoXXX field os required if any of the repeating group fields are present. So, if we follow the example, tag 576 is required if tag 577 is present. I see your point, though. Perhaps this issue has been resolved somewhere in one of these forums. My advice: If you want to stay out of trouble then always populate the NoXXX field even if its value is 1. > > Tag 577 is required if tag 576 is present. > > > > > Hi floks, > > > > > > > > > Is TAG 576 mandatory when TAG 577(1 occurance) is present? > > > > > > > > > > > > Thanks!! > > Thanks for the quick Response. My question is the other way around.. Is > Tag 576 required if Tag 577 is Present in a FIX message?
