A real message using tag 292

Valid values

A value outside this list is not a parse error — the message still decodes — but validate() reports it as validate/value-not-in-enum.

Where tag 292 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

Several values in one field, separated by spaces. Decoders return an array. @boarteam/fix splits the value on its delimiter and returns an array of strings.
