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 1346 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
ApplicationMessageReport	BY	Optional	directly on the message body
ApplicationMessageRequest	BW	Required	directly on the message body
ApplicationMessageRequestAck	BX	Optional	directly on the message body

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.

import { createFixEngine } from "@boarteam/fix";import { dictionary } from "@boarteam/fix-dict-fix50sp2";const fix = createFixEngine(dictionary);const { message, issues } = fix.parse(raw);const field = message.fields[1346];field?.name;   // "ApplReqID"field?.raw;    // the verbatim wire stringfield?.value;  // coerced to a string

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
