A real message using tag 1184

Where tag 1184 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.

Wire format

A byte count for the length-prefixed field that follows it. Count bytes, not characters — a multi-byte UTF-8 value makes the two differ. @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.
