FIX Protocol2.7

Sequence of digits without commas or decimals and optional sign character (ASCII characters "-" and "0" - "9" ). The sign character utilizes one byte (i.e. positive int is "99999" while negative int is "-99999").

Examples:

• 723 in field 21 would be mapped int as |21=723|.
• -723 in field 12 would be mapped int as |12=-723|

Sequence of digits with optional decimal point and sign character (ASCII characters "-", "0" - "9" and "."); the absence of the decimal point within the string will be interpreted as the float representation of an integer value.

Alpha-numeric free format strings, can include any character or punctuation except the delimiter. All char fields are case sensitive (i.e. morstatt ≠ Morstatt).

Raw data with no format or content restrictions. Data fields are always preceeded by a length field. Caution: may contain the delimiter (SOH) character.
