|
char
|
Alpha-numeric free format strings, can include any character or punctuation except the delimiter. All char fields are case sensitive. | FIX.2.7 | |
|
data
|
Raw data with no format or content restrictions. Data fields are always immediately preceded by a length field. Caution: may contain the delimiter (SOH) character. | FIX.2.7 | |
|
float
|
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. All float fields must accommodate up to fifteen significant digits. | FIX.2.7 | |
|
int
|
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”). Note that int values may contain leading zeros (e.g. “00023” = “23”). Examples: 723 in field 21 would be mapped int as |21=723|. -723 in field 12 would be mapped int as |12=-723| The following data types are based on int. |
