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 804 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

The number of entries in the repeating group that follows. The next field on the wire is the group's delimiter tag. @boarteam/fix parses the value as a number and reports parse/invalid-int when it does not lex as one; the raw string is kept either way.

Read tag 804 in TypeScript

decode.tsts
import { createFixEngine } from "@boarteam/fix";import { dictionary } from "@boarteam/fix-dict-fix44";const fix = createFixEngine(dictionary);const { message, issues } = fix.parse(raw);// NoNestedPartySubIDs is a group counter, so the entries live on message.groups —// NOT on message.fields. message.fields[804] is undefined.const entries = message.groups[804] ?? [];for (const entry of entries) {  // entry.fields is keyed by tag; entry.groups holds nested groups}

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.
