A real message using tag 556

Where tag 556 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 three-letter ISO 4217 code. @boarteam/fix keeps the value as a string; format rules are checked by validate(), which reports validate/invalid-value rather than throwing.
