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 1284 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
DerivativeSecurityList	AA	Optional	inside DerivativeSecurityDefinition › DerivativeInstrument › DerivativeSecurityXML
DerivativeSecurityListRequest	z	Optional	inside DerivativeInstrument › DerivativeSecurityXML
DerivativeSecurityListUpdateReport	BR	Optional	inside DerivativeSecurityDefinition › DerivativeInstrument › DerivativeSecurityXML

Wire format

Free-form text. Any byte except the SOH separator is legal, so values are not trimmed or case-folded on the wire. @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.

npm i @boarteam/fix @boarteam/fix-dict-fix50sp2
