Edit and decode it yourself

Shown with | separators for readability. On the wire FIX uses SOH (0x01), an invisible control byte — and because BodyLength and CheckSum are computed over the actual bytes, the two forms have different checksums. Both are valid and both decode here.

Where tag 1158 appears

Requiredness is a property of the message, not of the field: the same tag can be optional in one message and conditionally required in another.

Message	MsgType	Requiredness	Where in the message
SettlementObligationReport	BQ	Optional	inside SettlObligationInstructions › SettlDetails
TradeCaptureReport	AE	Optional	inside TrdCapRptSideGrp › SettlDetails
TradeCaptureReportAck	AR	Optional	inside TrdCapRptAckSideGrp › SettlDetails

Wire format

The number of entries in the repeating group that follows. The next field on the wire is the group's delimiter tag. @boarteam/fix parses the value as a number and reports parse/invalid-int when it does not lex as one; the raw string is kept either way.

Read tag 1158 in TypeScript

decode.tsts

import { createFixEngine } from "@boarteam/fix";import { dictionary } from "@boarteam/fix-dict-fix50sp2";const fix = createFixEngine(dictionary);const { message, issues } = fix.parse(raw);// NoSettlDetails is a group counter, so the entries live on message.groups —// NOT on message.fields. message.fields[1158] is undefined.const entries = message.groups[1158] ?? [];for (const entry of entries) {  // entry.fields is keyed by tag; entry.groups holds nested groups}

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.
