A real message using tag 1185

Where tag 1185 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

Values are carried as data on the wire. @boarteam/fix reads the partner length field first and takes exactly that many bytes, so an embedded separator does not truncate the value.
