Hi Robert, tag 52 (SendingTime) has type UTCTimeStamp. If you review the type definition in Fiximate you will find that two alternative formats are specified for FIX: 1. YYYYMMDD-HH:MM:SS (whole seconds) or 2. YYYYMMDD-HH:MM:SS.sss (milliseconds) The default unit for the FAST 1.2 Timestamp type is milliseconds, so if you want millisecond resolution, your spec would be: <timestamp .../> If on the other hand you want second resolution then you have to specify a unit as in: <timestamp unit="second" .../> Pls refer to the page 9 in the FAST 1.2 addendum available on www.fixprotocol.org/fast Best, Rolf > Hi Guys, > > Kind of still new to FAST, hope you can help me along. > > Let's say I currently have <string name="SendingTime" id="52"></string> in my > 1.1 template.
