Hi Vadim

Questions about OpenFAST should be asked on the OpenFAST discussion forum: 
[email protected] 

However, I do have a comment on your question below..

> It seems that OpenFast when implementing Decimals with separate

> even if two records with tags 1 and 2 and fields Price refer to the 
> same dictionary OpenFast creates four fields - PriceExp_1, PriceMan_1, 
> PriceExp_2, PriceMan_2. Is this the way Decimals should be

> PriceMan should be created.

My reading of the FAST spec is that the dictionary key is based on field name 
only, not tag, so I agree with your interpretation but you should discuss it 
with Jake on the OpenFAST list to see if he has a different reason for the 
behavior you are seeing.

Dale
