What the specification says

FIX 4.4

string field representing a Date of Local Market (as opposed to UTC) in YYYY-MM-DD format per the ISO 8601 standard. This is the "normal" date field used by the FIX Protocol. Valid values: YYYY = 0000-9999, MM = 01-12, DD = 01-31.

FIX 4.2

Date of Local Market (vs. UTC) in YYYYMMDD format. Valid values: YYYY = 0000-9999, MM = 01-12, DD = 01-31.

Descriptions are quoted from the FIX Orchestra sources under the Apache 2.0 licence.

How @boarteam/fix handles it

@boarteam/fix keeps the value as a string; format rules are checked by validate(), which reports validate/invalid-value rather than throwing.

Decode this in your own code

The same engine that produced the decoded example above is an Apache-2.0 npm package with zero runtime dependencies. It runs in Node and in the browser, and parse() returns problems as data instead of throwing.
